Hi everyone,

Christopher Graves, our President & CEO of Ogilvy PR Asia Pacific is currently in town! We are taking this opportunity to invite everyone, and anyone to ask him any questions they may have pertaining to Social Media. We will be interviewing him on video, of which will be shared with everyone on The Open Room.

Just a bit about Christopher for your information:

1. Before joining Ogilvy in January 2005, he worked for 25 years in business news.

2. 18 years was spent with Dow Jones on both editorial and business sides.

3. He was one of the founders of Wall Street Journal Television.

4. He was also the Managing Editor of Asia Business News (ABN), Vice President of News and Programming for CNBC Asia, Vice President of News and Programming for CNBC Europe, Managing Director of Business Development (EMEA & Asia) for Dow Jones Consumer Electronic Publishing (WSJ.com), and Managing Director of Far Eastern Economic Review.

5. Far Eastern Economic Review, a 60-year old magazine, won magazine of the year in Asia twice during his tenure.

6. He is a frequent public speaker and moderator, appearing at such events as the World Economic Forum (Davos and Asia), Global Entrepolis @ Singapore, World Islamic Economic Forum, and the Boao Forum for Asia.

7. He has interviewed leaders in public—most recently former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Philippines President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, former Prime Minister of Singapore Goh Chok Tong, Singapore founding father Lee Kuan Yew, India’s Minister of Trade Kamal Nath and China’s Minister of Science & Technology Wan Gang.

8. He once played a guitar in high school so bad, his band had to wear helmets because the audience threw stuff at them.

Instead of having us, the Digital Influence team, craft questions for his video interview which we’ve squeezed in tomorrow for recording, we thought we’d leave the questions to you, the creators, curators and consumers of Social Media. The people who matter.

Please email either Brian or myself (Pat Law) at brian.koh@ogilvy.com or patricia.law@ogilvy.com by 12 midnight today with the following details:

1. Name:

2. URL (if any):

3. Email address:

Hurry along now!

    Question for Chris,

    In what year does he predict OPR’s online/digital offer will overcome offline PR as its primary function?
