    AUSTIN, TX, October 01, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tocquigny, nationally recognized as a top-tier interactive agency for its creative branding and measured approach to interactive, social, direct response and mobile marketing, was chosen to speak at Change: The Digital Transformation Summit on Oct. 6th in Boston, Massachusetts. The event will showcase the forward-thinking strategies of leading digital marketers and how they are transforming the ways brands interact with their consumers using digital media.

Austin-based Tocquigny has been asked to participate in the summit to share expertise and best practices in a case study on how they assisted the Jeep brand with mobilizing its owner fan base to promote its brand. Yvonne Tocquigny, CEO of the interactive agency and Lucas Frank, Jeep Brand Manager, Chrysler Group LLC will review the strategy, challenges and lessons learned while entering the mobile space.

The companies worked in tandem to connect the brand with its adventure-loving customers through immersive, branded entertainment, catalyzed by the integration of geo-location and social sharing. Aware that the next era will belong to mobile, the duo will speak on how to capitalize on this emerging and evolving medium and the vision for future mobile trends.

"With mobile web revenue projected to reach close to $24 billion by 2013, we know global brands are contemplating how to best take advantage of the iPhone and smart phone consumption," comments Tocquigny. "Our experience taught us that an understanding of the behavioral patterns of the target audience combined with core competencies in interactive, social and mobile technologies is integral for success."

The summit will also bring to life the findings of MEDIA Magazine's October "CMO Issue," led by Guest Editor Julie Roehm (former CMO of Wal-Mart) and her hand-picked advisory board of top marketing visionaries including David C. Edelman, Partner-Marketing and Sales Practice, McKinsey & Company; Jim Garrity, Former CMO Wachovia, Former Chairman of the Association of National Advertisers; Bill Moult, Partner, Sequent Partners; and Kim Garretson, Partner, Ovative/Group.
