Multicultural consumers in the U.S. account for almost $6 trillion in purchasing power — almost half of the U.S. GNP. Is your company getting its share of this growing market?

Today’s American consumer defines who he is by what he buys. “Identity Marketing” goes to the heart of how Baby Boomer, Gen X, Gen Y, African-American, Latino, Women, Asian, Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgendered consumers define their identity through their purchases.

Traditional PR focuses on reaching mass media with a mass message. That doesn’t cut it with today’s multicultural consumer. Does your PR have what it takes to compete?

In this seminar you’ll understand:

  • Why multicultural consumers want much more than just a press release
  • A whole new perspective on how PR and identity shape each other
  • The key to understanding the real PR story — how your customer uses your product to define his/her identity

You Will Learn

  • How to align your PR to your consumer’s identity
  • How to become a part of your multicultural consumers’ community — and reap the rewards
  • Ways you can begin to change your PR approach today

Who Should Attend

  • Marketing Managers/Directors
  • Public Relations Directors/Managers
  • Corporate Communications Managers/Directors
