DENVER, Aug. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- PMA's Digital Shopper Marketing Summit will provide two days of strategic focus on how organizations can adapt to a world in which digital technologies have disrupted the path to purchase. The summit will be held September 20-21, 2011 in Stamford, Connecticut.

Ben Kennedy, Group Director of Mobile Marketing for The Integer Group®, will help attendees set up a framework to contextualize their mobile investment by focusing on ways marketers can strategically approach the mobile channel and establish a long term dialogue with their consumer base. Interacting with shoppers on their mobile devices steps up the level of intimacy between a brand and their consumer. Marketers need to understand how and when their consumers want to receive messaging in order to leave a good impression and build a long-term relationship. Positive mobile interactions at key moments around The Shopper Continuum(TM) will help turn a shopper into a buyer. Understanding the context of mobile shopping behavior will make the sale, capture the data or gain a follower and potential advocate.

Kennedy is part of an insight-packed agenda that includes speakers from companies such as 3M, Coke, ConAgra, Campbell's Soup, CVS.com, Facebook, Google Wallet, Groupon, Kraft Foods, Moet Hennessy, Nokia, Unilever, and many more.
