In 2004 he was a founding member of Ogilvy's dedicated social media practice, and is currently a member of the Global Strategy & Planning group at Ogilvy. An early digital marketing pioneer, he is credited with first introducing the idea of Social Media Optimization (SMO) on his Influential Marketing Blog. Despite having shared nearly 1000 original pieces of marketing thinking, he still wishes he had more time to blog! Rohit is the best selling author of Personality Not Included (McGraw-Hill), a book about how to effectively build a brand personality which has been translated into 9 languages. His writing and ideas have been featured in media globally including Fast Company, Inc, The Guardian (UK), MarketingChina and the New York Times.

In the past two years, he has spoken in Oslo, Beijing, Brussels, San Francisco, New York, London, Johannesburg, Paris and Toronto. 

He is also a frequent seminar and workshop leader (ie - facilitating rather than speaking) for some of the world's largest brands including SABMiller, Intel, SAP, and Novartis. In his client work, speaking and writing - one of his biggest beliefs is being approachable and genuine, so if you see him at an event please come and say hello!

Other causes he actively supports either as a marketing consultant or advisor include those supporting youth entrepreneurship, women in business and teachers/education.

We do not at all times get our hopes and dreams, and we never generally get our very own way.There's an interesting gendering to that commercial, too. Men as soldiers, women as child care providers or as children. The latter is where the game language comes in.
