(3BL Media) Laguna Niguel, CA - April 16, 2012 - Recyclebank®, the company that rewards people for taking everyday green actions with discounts and deals from local and national businesses, today announced that Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Hsu will discuss the changing green economy for consumers at the Fortune Brainstorm GREEN conference on Monday, April 16. The panel, “The Green Consumer: How New Media is Changing the Game,” will bring together top executives from The Coca-Cola Company®, Zipcar and Best Buy who have all profitably utilized new media to drive environmental efforts that address major sustainability issues.

The explosion of digital networks has opened new channels for organizations to engage customers around sustainability, creating consumer interactions that go above and beyond convention. The panel will discuss the effectiveness of social networking and other digital strategies to mobilize the green consumer, and compare this approach to traditional marketing channels. Hsu will specifically share Recyclebank’s experience with new media — how the company has gamified green lifestyle decisions and built customer loyalty to inject momentum into the zero waste economy.

Hsu is responsible for the overall operations and strategic direction of the company. A media and Internet executive veteran, he was previously the chief executive officer of 24/7 Real Media. Prior to his 11-year tenure at 24/7 Real Media, Hsu spent time as an M&A investment banker at JP Morgan Securities. He is a member of the World Economic Forum Future of the Internet Council, as well as The Paley Center for Media and the Vistage CEO global community. Hsu holds a B.A. in economics from Harvard University and an M.B.A. in strategic management and finance from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
