It is our pleasure to introduce Casey Lau as one of the SMWHK Advisory Board Members. Hailing from Vancouver, this digital expert kicked off his career in Hong Kong 16 years ago. A prolific digital insider who has his hands in all online related events happening around town, Casey is known for the creation of Popcorn Media Network, an Asia-based online publishing company that produces popular lifestyle blogs in Hong Kong.
Aside from his success as a digital entrepreneur he pursues his other interests as an opinion leader at digital and social media events. He was also voted one of Hong Kong’s Most Interesting People by HK Magazine - we think it’s quite clear why.
As if he doesn’t have enough on his plate, Casey is also working with a well-known American publisher on a book related to Asia’s online scene. Might some of his findings from SMWHK make the publisher’s cut? You’ll have to get involved in order to find out!
