2010 Symposium
Advertising and the Asian American Community: Capture a Market Opportunity
Annual AEF Symposium
Advertising and the Asian American Community: Capture a Market Opportunity brings together leading marketing/advertising executives and academics to raise awareness, understanding and importance of the as-yet largely untapped opportunity the Asian American community represents for our industry. Throughout the day, we will review case histories of in-market learning as well as personal stories about immigrant consumer experiences, and participate in an honest, lively discussion about how to move forward – with a not-to-be-missed keynote presentation by Neil Golden, CMO, McDonald’s USA.
