    Rex Sorgatz

    Rex Sorgatz calls himself an "Internet Person," but we know he's so much more than that. Rex, who's been called a "social networking butterfly" and "micro-celebrity" by the New York Times, is a media guru specializing in the digital, marketing, and social worlds via the Internet. He's "a hybrid digital strategist, marketing guru and social media consultant rolled into one." In 2010, Rex started Kinda Sorta Media (KSM), a digital strategy agency working with clients including SNL, GQ, Newsweek, MSNBC, Buzzfeed, Wired, M.A.C, Pose, Tipjar, and more. Rex's personal site, Fioculous.com is a must read amongst industry geeks and references the term meaning "a micro-organism that consumes its own waste for sustenance." We spot Rex out everywhere and think he's one you need to know about!
