Who Is Ian Schafer?

Ian Schafer is the CEO of Deep Focus, which recently made the list of AdAge’s hottest digital shops. Schafer also was listed as one of the magazines top Media Mavens of 2007. He’s a Cannes winner, as well as an expert at mashing together brands, new technologies and online platforms. Smart guy all told. The last lines of his Mavens profile says that, “Mr. Schafer, who spent his college summers as a Unix programmer at AT&T Laboratories, has an original video recording of the unboxing of his first computer, a Commodore 64 in 1984 at his 9th birthday party. Watch for the cameo of the Carvel Cookie Puss cake.” We thought we’d save you the trouble and post it above. Enjoy. If that doesn’t satisfy your curiosity, check out his speech at The Next Big Idea Conference or read his blog here.
