Kansas City Firms Converge at Connections 2011

For one week a year, digital marketers across the country converge and connect in Indianapolis for the annual ExactTarget Connections conference. Covering topics from digital direct, social media, mobile and more, this gathering has quickly transformed into one of the largest annual digital marketing conferences in the world. This year over 3,000 attendees came together and a number of Kansas City agencies were represented.

Overland Park-based Digital Evolution Group earned two top honors at the conference this week. DEG, a digital e-consultancy, was recognized for their email design work for Helzberg Diamonds as well as named ExactTarget's Reseller Partner of the Year. Further, a number of "DEGeniuses" were on hand as presenters and participants in the Wednesday learning sessions, including social media savant Ramsey Mohsen (seen above).

Meers Advertising was also represented at the conference as a sponsor and partner ambassador while representatives from VML and BKV were in attendance to take in the world-class keynote speakers and participate in the myriad of practice sharing sessions.
