Best thing about AMA?
Without a doubt, the people. From my fellow Board Members to the chapter volunteers while including the members and attendees – the people I have met and the relationships I have formed (both professional and personal) have been well worth the investment of time and energy I put in and will keep me involved in the SDAMA for a long time to come.
Brand you admire?
ESPN – not only am I a huge sports fan, but the marketing and branding they do is excellent. The “This is SportsCenter” campaign shows they have a good handle on who they are trying to reach not just utilizing demographics such as age and gender, but also examining the types of personalities and psychographics their customers have and tailoring their messages accordingly.
