Hello. My name is Derek Rey, and I’m a social media enthusiast. Thank you for visiting Beyond Banner. This is a site where professionals (working in the space of media/new media) share their opinions on social media, technology, and community. I work for Technorati Media (aka Technorati.com). On a daily basis I get to interact with the various brands and innovators who are intersecting the global conversation. My background is somewhat diverse, stretching from work in Asia to commercial real estate. I snowboard, I fly fish, I play competitive baseball. I’m an outdoorsman, artist, designer, photographer. I also have a saltwater fish tank and a dog named Hobie. I reside in San Francisco. To contact me, simply visit the contact page. Thank you!
