In today's market, no business can afford to be all things to all people, no matter how broad-based their product or service appeal. Even so, many businesses want to appeal to everyone while offending no one so their campaigns become over-generalized. Mark will discuss how to strategically focus on target audiences and move away from a “Broadcasting” strategy to a “Narrowcasting” strategy with regard to both creative idealizations as well as media placement.

Reservations for the September Luncheon (this Thursday, September 27th) at 12pm at Casino Aztar, can be made from the AAF-GE website or by emailing info@aafevv.com. The luncheon is free for AAF-GE members, $15 for non-members.
