Scott Stratten
President
UnMarketing

Scott Stratten is the president of Un-Marketing. Formerly a national sales training manager and a professor at the Sheridan College School of Business, he has been running his "UnAgency" for eight years which has become the place companies like PepsiCo, Red Cross, and Fidelity Investments come to when they need help guiding their way through the viral/social media and relationship marketing landscape. He now has more than 76,000 people follow his daily rantings on Twitter and was voted one of the top influencers on the site with over 200 million users. It's the only time he's felt comfortable being compared to Ashton Kutcher, P Diddy, and Justin Bieber.

His book UnMarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging became a national best seller before it was released and was also just named one of the top business books of the year by 1-800-CEO READ.
 

Oliver Uberti
Design Editor
National Geographic Magazine
Washington, District of Columbia

Oliver Uberti is a design editor at National Geographic Magazine. On a given day, he may be found painting with crushed insects, charting man’s migration from Africa, drawing Stonehenge, or directing photo shoots of the rocks that power your iPhone. In 2010, he designed Washington, DC's Museum of Unnatural History—the storefront for 826DC, the eighth chapter in a national network of nonprofit creative writing centers. His latest creation? A facelift of National Geographic that debuts in the June 2011 issue. Whatever the task, his process begins with paper and big, fat Sharpie.
