NEW YORK–If you’re looking to win big in Las Vegas, skip the table games for later and head to the MGM Grand Hotel on May 20-21, 2010 for the highly anticipated Asian American Marketing Conference of the prestigious Asian American Advertising Federation (3AF).
“This is not going to be just all Powerpoint decks and charts. We’re going to have a more entertaining and lively presentation of data, insights and awards that both clients and industry people will find very helpful and useful,” says Tommy Ng, general manager of Admerasia and vice president of 3AF.
The federation is composed of the most influential Asian advertising, media and research practitioners. Ng himself represents Admerasia, one of the leading Asian American advertising agencies based in this city.
The conference will put Asian America advertising agency executives, media partners and advertisers, researchers as well as its most creative people in one grand hotel like never before, giving everyone a chance to network and learn how they can maximize their marketing spend in 2010 and beyond.
“If there is any event to meet and learn more about the Asian American advertising industry, this is it,” says Ng.
At the conference, insights and perspectives from top Asian creative directors will be interspersed with lively talks by Jennifer 8. Lee, former New York Times reporter and author of the best-seller, “The Fortune Cookie Chronicles” as well as Park-Jin Young, founder of JYP Entertainment, who is responsible for the international mega hit acts, The Wonder Girls and Rain.
The 3AF will be capped by a Creative Awards program featuring the best work of various Asian American advertising agencies.
