The 2nd ANA Multicultural Marketing Thought Leadership Forum will continue the conversation around delivering a total market approach that leads with multicultural insights.
As the demographics of America continue to evolve, corporations are increasingly taking a "total market" approach to their marketing and advertising campaigns.

Join your peers to discuss key issues that increase the impact of marketing to an increasingly multicultural nation.
These will be exclusive "invitation only" events, bringing together client-side marketers for peer-to-peer discussion and exchange of best practices.
Here's the agenda for the day:
Networking Breakfast (9:30-10:00AM)
Welcome and Opening Remarks (10:00 – 10:15AM)
MCDONALD'S TOTAL MARKET APPROACH (10:15-11:10AM)
The total market approach moves multicultural marketing beyond silos to a more holistic, integrated approach adapted by the entire organization. McDonald's guiding principle of "Leading with Ethnic Insights" is based on understanding and applying the ethnic consumer perspective at all points in the marketing process in order to drive business results. In this session, they will share their approach to "Leading with Ethnic Insights" and share examples of marketing campaigns that resonate with today's increasing multicultural nation.
