Mooney Will Share Concepts from The Open Brand in Opening Keynote

COLUMBUS, OH — May 14, 2007 —For the sixth consecutive year, Resource Interactive President and CXO Kelly Mooney will keynote the 2007 Shop.org Annual Summit, the premier gathering of internet and multichannel leaders. The Summit will be held September 17-19 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. 

Mooney will discuss the key concepts of her upcoming book, The Open Brand: When Push Comes to Pull in a Web-Made World. Using real world examples, she will explore the rise of personal brands and the online consumer's desire to create, share and influence—shifting cultural authority away from traditional brands and placing it with the communal consumer.
