If it is happening in Kansas City, Ramsey Mohsen is probably there. As one of Kansas City’s most influential video bloggers, Ramsey turns his webcam onto an event, provides his optimistic commentary, and posts the final cut on his blog, YouTube, Facebook and several other social media sites. His video blogs are often embedded and linked by other major Kansas City blogs. He is also the creator and author of Across the Board (www.acrosstheboardblog.com), a popular entertainment blog that receives over 50,000 unique visitors each month.

Ramsey is a pioneer in the video blogging space, as the first “life-caster” in the Midwest featured on the famed Justin.tv Website and now is a major “event-caster”. He is often specifically sought after by event organizers and marketing directors throughout the metro area to help publicize their events to the keytwentysomething demographic nationwide. He has also been asked to speak to a number of organizations (including the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and the University of Kansas) on the application of social media technologies to business.

A Springfield, Missouri native (but graduate of the University of Kansas), Ramsey has become a major booster of the Kansas City area and uses every opportunity to promote Kansas City. He is active in a number of community organizations, serving on the steering committees of the Young Friends of Union Station and Hilloween (benefiting the Manna Fund). In fact, Ramsey has turned his well-attended annual “Ugly Holiday Sweater Party” into a fundraiser for Operation Breakthrough.

And if you have not seen Ramsey or his blog, you most likely have seen his work. As a consultant for the leading e-business firm Digital Evolution Group, Ramsey has led the concepting, design and implementation of the primary websites for the Kansas City International Airport (www.flykci.com), Crown Center (www.crowncenter.com), the KU School of Business (www.business.ku.edu), and the State of Missouri Division of Tourism (news.visitmo.com). He is currently leading a major re-design of the City of Overland Park’s Website.

» In 2008, Ramsey Mohsen was recognized by Ingrams Magazine, a local Kansas City business publication, in the inaugural class of “20 in their Twenties“.
