Jack Yan to speak in Auckland, New Zealand on youth marketing

Luncheon speech examines the youth market and the forces that will shape
branding to it in the coming decade

Auckland, February 11 (JY&A Media) Jack Yan, CEO of Jack Yan & Associates,
will present a luncheon speech to the members of SMEI in Auckland, New
Zealand, on March 11, detailing issues of branding to the youth market.
Young people in the western world have experienced relative stability
for most of their lives. As a result, they have grown up with a very
distinct set of values. Jack Yan has looked at this hard-to-target group
born between 1979 and 1994 for a recent paper to be published in a special
issue of the Journal of Brand Management, called ‘Branding Total
Responsibility’.
He puts the ideas about the youth demographic in the context of
branding over the next decade.
His talk begins at 12 p.m. on March 11, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel,
Auckland.
Mr Yan helms Jack Yan & Associates, a global company that includes JY&A
Consulting, a worldwide virtual consultancy specializing in branding.

About Journal of Brand Management
Brands have become an inextricable part of our everyday lives—that much is
certain. Equally, everybody knows the rewards of communicating positive
values through intricately managed brands; in fact, the consequences of
inappropriate brand messages can be devastating, if not fatal. Such
realizations are not new of course. Yet brand management remains an
imprecise science, if not an art in itself. That’s why Journal of Brand
Management is essential reading for all those concerned with marketing—and
overseeing—a brand. Journal of Brand Management draws together cutting-edge
analysis and latest thinking from leading figures in the world’s foremost
companies, consultancies and academic institutions.
