Being ‘Digital Guy’: 24 Hours With MediaCom’s Willie Pang
MediaCom’s Willie Pang has just been promoted from chief digital officer to COO, but before he starts his new role he shares what goes on in his day and his thoughts on everything from “Why is voice recognition still so shit?” to adland using TMAs (too many acronyms).
So what’s it like to be the “Digital” guy? Well, I’ve only ever known digital. My first real job was selling internet access to small businesses (remember those dial-up modems?)
“Imagine, Business Owner, that you could send a letter and it would instantaneously appear on your customer’s desk!”
(Incredulous look on the potential buyer’s face.)
So glad this feature is back!
I don’t know what it is but Siri really struggles with my voice but them most voice recognition do (remember the brain training game on Nintendo DS – well it could never understand when I said black and I always scored low.
The irony is that Aussie Siri is voiced by Karen Jacobson @thegpsgirl and she is a really good friend of mine who can understand when I speak to her.
Same with me. I’m from Chile, and Siri thinks I’m Tony Montana.
“Why is voice recognition is still so shit?”

Do you even editor?
Hi Nnnngh,
Yes. I do. It would just appear that in this instance, I failed.
Thanks for assisting me. I have fixed the mistake.
