Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 9, 2008 -- DEI Worldwide, the leader in social media and word of mouth marketing, announced today that Gunther Sonnenfeld has joined the senior management team as Vice President of Digital and Social Media. In this newly created position, Sonnenfeld will apply his 14 years of ad/marketing experience to spearhead the strategy and development of Web 2.0 initiatives for clients seeking to push the boundaries of the technologies driving how millions of consumers are connecting on the Internet. Sonnenfeld's task of expanding DEI's use of Web 2.0 applications will contribute greatly to DEI's overall mission of helping brand owners to have two way conversations with consumers online in order to gain valuable brand equity and market intelligence.

"I was immediately impressed with DEI's commitment to helping brands understand social media and the rapidly changing digital landscape," said Sonnenfeld. "Brands want more for their marketing dollars and by expanding DEI's range of services and proprietary technologies; we continue to offer clients opportunities to not only take action immediately, but to reach the right audience online."

Prior to TRÜF, Sonnenfeld held the position of Senior Director of Strategic Development at DNA Studio (now WHITTMAN HART), then a 100-person independent interactive ad agency, where he was responsible for new business and account strategy for a number of Fortune 500 clients. Notably, Sonnenfeld also served as Creative Director for creativeFEW, where he managed new business and oversaw the execution of multi-platforms campaigns involving interactive, mobile, print, public relations, direct marketing and direct response.
