THE AUTHORS

Kelly Mooney

President &
Chief Experience Officer,
Resource Interactive

A widely influential thought leader and spokesperson in the digital and multichannel arenas, Kelly Mooney is a virtuoso of the digital experience and a brilliant business leader. A twenty-year veteran of consumer-centric marketing, Mooney is industry-renowned for her uncanny gift to translate the complexities of the digital channel and consumer behavior into actionable business solutions.

Mooney first highlighted the shift of power from marketer to consumer when she co-wrote the groundbreaking book, The Ten Demandments: Rules to Live By in the Age of the Demanding Customer (McGraw-Hill, 2002). Translated into 11 languages, the book is a real-world roadmap for winning customers’ hearts and keeping their loyalty, and has been hailed as the ultimate guide to satisfying today’s increasingly demanding and empowered consumer.

Five years later, on the doorstep of Web 2.0 and at the tipping point of the ultimate marketing power shift, Mooney debuts her second book, The Open Brand: When Push Comes to Pull in a Web-Made World, which dissects the social web revolution—from the rise of personal brands to the online consumer’s inclination to create, share and influence—and unveils the new strategic imperatives for brands to be on-demand, personal, engaging, and networked: O.P.E.N.

As President and Chief Experience Officer of Resource Interactive, Mooney inspires business leaders to welcome consumers into the value creation of their brands. She leads a company of award-winning interactive marketing teams in the development of brand-building consumer experiences for companies such as Procter & Gamble, Hewlett-Packard, The Coca-Cola Company, Victoria’s Secret, Best Buy, L.L. Bean and Wal-Mart. The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Inc., BusinessWeek, Time Digital, Fast Company, CNET, People, USA Today, CBS’s “The Early Show”, CNBC’s “Closing Bell,” Nikkei Business (Japan), Vente à Distance (France), Capital (Dubai) and other national and international media outlets have covered Mooney’s and Resource’s work.

Mooney is a frequent keynote speaker for industry conferences including NRF’s Shop.org, Young Presidents’ Organization, Fast Company’s Real Time, The Direct Marketing Association, American Marketing Association, Ad:Tech, Association for Women in Communications, Marketing2Women, AIGA, Guy Kawasaki’s Bootcamp for Startups, Internet World and Gartner Group’s E-Tail Vision, among others.
