About Me

Not very usual.

I'm Wilson G. Tang, and I'm a creative, digital and innnovation executive with extensive experience designing and producing leading-edge content and experiential marketing solutions for major media, technology and brands.  I have worked on brands including Google, Yahoo!, USA Today, CBS, Square, Miller Coors, Chipotle, BP, Exxon Mobil, Bank of America and more.

In addition, I've had a distinguished career as on-air television and radio host/producer/writer for major CBS News national broadcasts and online at CNET TV, where I covered technology news extensively.

My passion is and always has been, though, storytelling, whether that is on screen through video and film or online through a blog or article or through creating real life experiences.

It's about stories.  They make us and define us.

CBS News

Correspondent

At CBS, I became a CBS News correspondent on the most high profile of news events in the technology world. With Steve Jobs passing, I hosted and produced three segments that evening and morning, where I discussed the legacy of this technology and cultural lumière on the highly regarded CBS Early Show.

Since then, I've made several appearances on the CBS Early Show's Trend Benders segment as CNET's technology correspondent, and hosted segments for the CBS Morning News.

It's been an honor and a privilege to be part of such an important news and media legacy, and one that I will always carry with me. In addition to CBS News, I have made guest appearances on MSNBC, Reuters and Fox News.
