Julia, a dog named Waffle & The Ghost of Roger Smith
Posted on 21. Jan, 2010 by BrianSimpson in Community, Events, Hotel
Last night in the Penthouse of The Roger Smith Hotel Matt Semler & Danika Druttman, of The Lab Gallery, along with Julia Kaganskiy (MoMA) hosted a gathering of arts and tech enthusiasts. The main purpose was the introduction of smART Camp, a weekend long event in March, that will bring together influential artists, social network professionals and a community of people looking at ways the two are utilized for the exposure, education and sales for the art world.
The hotel, as many of you know, has a mysterious energy that seems to bring out the storyteller in all of its visitors, last night was no exception.
If you are skeptical… don’t believe me, believe Julia, Michelle Adam and a dog named Waffle.
Cinemonde: Wonderful World
Posted on 20. Jan, 2010 by admin in Arts, Community, Events
In December, James Knowles of the Roger Smith Hotel presented the Rogé award at the Cinémonde film event. Cinémonde is all about great drink, great food, and great film. The screening on December 14th, at the School of Visual Arts Theater (on 23rd Street, bet. 8th & 9th Aves, in NYC) featured WONDERFUL WORLD, directed by Josh Goldin, starring Matthew Broderick, Sannaa Lathan and Michael K. Williams.
It was a smashing event. Not only did we have the pleasure of watching two fantastic films but we were able to engage some of the people who make this soiree possible. One such person was the director of the School of Visual Arts Theater, Gene Stavis.
James Knowles speaks with Chef Nata Traub about her childhood summers in France, and her love of Mediterranean flavors. Nata Traub has amazed and excited Cinémonde’s guests with her delightful dishes and exquisite taste.
Last but certainly not least we spoke with the director, Josh Goldin. Lets go Behind the scenes and check it out.

Mobile Phones Companies and Social Media in the UK
Posted on 11. Dec, 2009 by AdamWallace in Community
In this series of films I am exploring the story of mobile taking over the UK mobile communication companies. What I found is that everyone of them advertises that their phones allow for use of social media sites and everyone that I talked to said that the sites a vastly popular on mobile, but not one of them was willing to do an interview with me to publish on YouTube and a blog at tell a positive story about them. Every one of them said I had to talk to their press office and would not let me publish video from their store online. I was shocked at how vastly they are promoting the use of the sites, but would lot let someone tell a positive story about them.
At the Roger Smith Hotel we have seen great success from others telling the story about our hotel. Wether someone has an audience of 100 or 1,000,000, their voice online is relevant to the company and when you have many sharing your story it scales to huge numbers. I am surprised to see how popular social connection on mobile phones is, but that none of the mobile companies are leveraging these tools for exposure.
Roger Smith Hotel Social Media Re-mix
Posted on 14. Oct, 2009 by AdamWallace in Community, Hotel
In a conversation with John Knowles @RShotel, president of the organization James Knowles asks, “So how do we reach out?”. John: “You let other people do it for you.” James: “How does that work?”
The concept crowd sourcing content becomes a great way to allow for others to share your virtues. The idea of others taking your brand into their own hands might seem scary but when the public personalities embrace your identity the reach of your message spreads farther than you can anticipate.
The understanding and embracing of others to tell the story of your identity creates new levels of branding opportunity. The most important thing to understand is that our satisfaction is in you. The exciting moment of social media and the social internet is when an online engagement translates into a face to face interaction.
It is important to thank our friends both old and new for making the Roger Smith Hotel the place for everything Social Media. Thanks for being part of the Roger Smith Culture.
