For two years, Kaiser worked as a China bureau chief for the Silicon Valley-based tech business magazine Red Herring. He took a position as a digital strategist for Ogilvy China, in January 2007 where he divided his time between internal evangelism, eternal “thought leadership,” and scoping out good tech companies in China which Ogilvy and its parent company might work with as invest in, partner with, vendors, or possibly acquire.
