PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - Apr 26, 2013) - ShopIgniter , the company that is transforming how brands advertise to social + mobile consumers, announced today that industry veterans Justin Kistner and Clay Moore have joined the company as senior director of strategy and senior director marketing solutions, respectively.

And, with over a dozen years' experience in digital media, Moore will be responsible for development and execution of consultative sales strategies, aligning ShopIgniter's social + mobile solutions with client and partner business goals.
Kistner , a recognized social media thought leader and developer of industry standard-setting benchmarks, remarked, "Brands have spent years building their fan base, and investing in apps and creating a robust social presence. Now, they are asking: 'What next?' I'm so excited about ShopIgniter because they are leading the wave of this second phase of social marketing, providing a real framework to help brands assess, plan and enact strategies that realize their true reach and monetization potential through a combination of creative, paid media, and analytics."
