SITO Institute Partners With The Mobile Marketing Association To Host Brand Marketer Roundtable Event In Chicago

JERSEY CITY, N.J., March 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The SITO Institute of Consumer Behavior and Location Sciences, the research and education arm of SITO Mobile, Ltd., will partner with the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) to host a series of invitation-only roundtable discussions entitled, Building Brands and Businesses: Marketing in an Age of Disruption. The first event in the series will take place at the Florentine in Chicago on March 28, 2019, at 8:30 AM CDT.

At this breakfast briefing, Bruce H. Rogers, Founding Managing Director of The SITO Institute for Consumer Behavior and Location Sciences, will facilitate conversations with some of today's most influential marketing leaders. Speakers include Brett O'Brien, GM at Gatorade, who will share how this iconic brand remains relevant to a new generation of consumers, as well as Robert Tas, Partner at McKinsey & Company, who will discuss how to drive growth through digital advantage. Attendees will also hear from Rishad Tobaccowala, Chief Growth Officer and Member of the Management Board at Publicis Groupe, who will examine why marketers must optimize for the customer.

"The holy grail for marketers is a one-to-one, relevant relationship with their customers. With more and more technology and platforms coming to market, brands understand the need to navigate the complex convergence of marketing, technology and management, but don't always know the best way forward," said Bruce H. Rogers, Founding Managing Director, SITO Mobile. "I'm looking forward to having candid conversations and debates with world-leading marketers on how to best balance marketing technology optimization with customer focus."
