While this photo may more closely resemble an enraged Christian Bale, as seen in “American Psycho,” this is actually a telling college photo of our good friend and colleague Tim Harris, who has recently re-joined the ranks of Denuo as senior vice president.

While no stranger to the agency – he was one of the founders after all – Tim will focus on the development and promotion of new Denuo products and services. He will also work with Denuo clients to help them better understand and interpret the changing, modern marketplace.

As a founding member of Denuo, Tim helped build our unique plug-and-play operating model that allows us to openly collaborate with the best talent and agency resources around. He also co-founded the agency’s best-in-class gaming expertise when he launched the once standalone unit Play, the industry’s first and most recognized agency unit dedicated to leveraging videogames as a consumer contact medium.

I’m guessing to say we’re glad to have him back is an understatement. Here’s a look at what some of his Denuo colleagues are saying about him and his return:

Congratulations are in order for our fearless leader, Rishad Tobaccowala. This week at ad:tech San Francisco, Rishad received an Industry Achievement Award for his outstanding contributions to the industry and his ability to inspire, and re-inspire, the masses.

Fellow recipients of this prestigious award were Coca-Cola’s VP of Global Interactive Marketing Carol Kruse and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia’s former President, Media and Co-CEO Wenda Harris Millard (who announced Tuesday that she has moved to MediaLink to serve as president).

A couple weeks ago Saneel was browsing the internets and happened upon Silicon Alley Insider’s The contest asked for ideas on a viable revenue plan for Twitter – something it doesn’t quite yet have. He forwarded the link to the rest of the group and we decided that we wanted to tackle the problem.

Why, you ask? Well, frankly, we love Twitter. Nearly everyone in the office uses it on a daily basis. (Heck, Saneel even created some ) We’d hate to see Twitter disappear.

We also thought we could come up with a more innovative (and less intrusive) idea than ads via Twitter. Being ad supported means being focused on CPM – and that just didn’t make much sense to us. So with that – we released the hamsters onto the wheels in our heads and got to thinking.

It’s Opening Day for our little corner of the internet, so let’s kick it off with a quick video to set the mood. Lower your lights, chill your beverage, and settle in for a piece of cinema history.

I give you Black Belt Jones.

After the jump (hey look, I’m a Gawker Media site), it’s Bas Rutten. He’ll be giving you some instructions on how to defend yourself if things get hairy during your visit to Denuology.com.

Welcome.
