Michael Donnelly’s Summary

As Group Director, Worldwide Interactive Marketing for The Coca-Cola Company, I am responsible for increasing the understanding, testing, adoption and effective use of Digital Marketing and Emerging Media.

While having worked in the interactive marketing arena since 1998, I've recently been most focused on developing and implementing innovative global strategies in Social Media Marketing, Consumer Generated Media, Virtual Worlds and Search Engine Marketing to share our learning and expand our use of these tactics to engage consumers and amplify our local efforts around the world.

Honored to be named one of AdAge's 2009 "Media Mavens"... Programs under my supervision have recently won “Best in Show” at OMMA, Silver and Bronze awards at MIXX, a Webby Award, a Creative Media Award, Achievement Awards from the Society for New Communications Research and an Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Achievement in Advanced Media Technology for Best Use of Commercial Advertising on Stand Alone Broadband Devices“.

I was with Johnson & Johnson for 9 years prior to joining The Coca-Cola Company. There, as part of the Global Marketing Group, I led their Interactive Marketing Center of Excellence and focused on developing an incoming pipeline of emerging media opportunities and on creating a community for marketers to test, learn and share experiences.

Before J&J, I spent nearly five years each with Beiersdorf Inc. and SmithKline Beecham in various consumer product Sales Management positions focused on accounts such as Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS, AHOLD, COSCO and many others
