About

Hi! My name is Cam MacMurchy. I was born and raised in Canada and worked as a journalist before moving to China in 2004.

Today I work in Hong Kong as the Vice President of Corporate Communications of a listed company. I write about marketing, communications, and journalism, as well as technology and productivity, and anything else on my mind! I also occasionally contribute to 9to5Mac, one of the top Apple websites in the world, and run Executive Productivity. Contact me anytime.

Weekend project: a home teleprompter. A Sony A7R4 sits behind that screen. Finally figured out how to reverse the screen (not shown obviously!)

You can’t tell from the photo, but the humidity is finally dissipating. Fall/winter is the best time of year in Hong Kong.

Weekend comfort food: a classic skillet w/ hash browns, onions, green peppers, cheese, steak and eggs @ Green Waffle Diner. #yum
