Ken Yeung is a digital communications leader and versatile storyteller, blending his experience as a journalist with hands-on expertise as a digital marketer and content strategist to craft compelling narratives across platforms. He’s skilled in crafting results-driven content that seamlessly blends creativity with technical expertise, all in clear, easy-to-understand language.
Today, Ken is the founder and writer of “The AI Economy,” a newsletter examining how artificial intelligence is reshaping society. Launched on LinkedIn in 2024 and now on Substack, it tracks the latest AI models, digital transformation and workforce disruptions, the rise of the agentic era, emerging trends and reports, and more.
Previously, he was a staff writer for two digital media outlets, The Next Web and VentureBeat, where he covered Silicon Valley. His coverage spanned Big Tech firms (e.g., Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Meta), consumer and B2B startups, enterprise platforms, venture funding, and other business and technology-related news.
Ken has also helped to shape content operations at multiple tech companies, including Flipboard, where he led coverage of the platform’s technology, science, gaming, and health news, and Orange Silicon Valley, where he launched the research group’s digital presence, supervised its weekly executive newsletter, and directed external communications.
Beyond his written work, his portfolio encompasses projects for companies in various industries, including technology, telecommunications, travel and hospitality, pharmaceuticals, retail, education, and finance. A digital media expert, Ken has also developed programs that extend content across channels, including for websites, emails, podcasts, and social media.
Outside of work, Ken is an avid photographer—his latest obsession is velodrome racing—traveling, playing tennis, and enjoying a good show on TV or in the theater.
He also serves as an advisor to the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival and as a judge for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Innovation Awards program.
Why Is It Called ‘The Letter Two?’
Ken’s brand, “The Letter Two,” is meant to be unique and intriguing. It directly links his work to the core elements of structured communication and synthesis. The “Letter” signifies Ken’s expertise in writing, journalism, and the crafting of precise, meaningful messages that inform and inspire. The “Two” represents the combination of the two worlds he focuses on—business and technology—and the two key parties he brings together—brand and audience. “The Letter Two” offers an intentional and memorable opportunity to discuss duality and refined communication.
