I’ve never posted about any of the radio, newspaper, or tv coverage that’s found it’s way to me since The Apprentice. Mostly because it was all so random and I never really found any of it that interesting. But Advertising Age just announced their “40 under 40″ list, and I’m quite honored (and surprised) to be on it!

Part of the reason this is so cool for me is because it has a personal element. I remember when I first started reading Ad Age about 7 years ago (while I was at DiversityInc), and thinking how cool it would be to work at some of the companies mentioned, and to meet the people that get written up. The fact that I’ve been able to work at one of the most frequently written-up Ad Age companies, and now get one of their honors is really surreal (and, of course, cool).

If you’ve come to the site because Ad Age was kind enough to link to my blog (thanks, guys!), I’d like to recommend suryaonmarketing.com (SoM) . This blog is mostly personal musings, while SoM will focus on what I see as interesting marketing (with a focus on new media) stories.

Oh and the quote that they refer to in the Ad Age article is from this random post.
