Marcelo Lewin, a.k.a. The Digital Media Dude, started The Digital Media Dude in late 2006 as a blog, mainly, to write about new media. He then created his first podcast, The Digital Media Dude Daily Tip now known as Digital Media Quick Tips which got picked up by iTunes in the Top 25. By late 2007, The Digital Media Dude became officially a network of shows and in early 2008, it was renamed to Pixel Heads Network. Pixel Heads Network was acquired by ProMAX Systems in December 2008.

With over 15 years of experience in the digital media industry, including gigs with NBC, Walt Disney Imagineering, Toyota and having a couple of "dot com" companies under his belt, he shares his knowledge throughout our shows.

He is married with his wife of 16 years and has 2 sons. His hobbies include photography, videography, new media, technology, great food, great beers and just playing around with his kids.

Marcelo Lewin currently hosts 3 shows, blogs and makes presentations about new media all over. He is the General Manager of Pixel Heads Network and the Director of Marketing & Interactive Media at ProMAX Systems, Pixel Heads Network's parent company.

    Nice interview - patrick sure is lively! :)

    Lots of nice bits in there, and definately shows it to the corporate types that a forum isn’t something you “bolt on and leave”…. its a organic part of a website that can become your main draw for your site easily (or main detractor).
