U.S. and China marketing forum: In a time of trade war, economic nationalism, and rapidly changing shifts in market production, demand, brands, and technology, marketers need an advance look to inform their plans and strategies.
To give you that insight, AMA New York surveyed 500 consumers and 500 marketers in the U.S. and China. The expansive sample, and in-depth questionnaire, provided a rich trove of data that compares consumers in both countries and contrasts their views with those of marketing professionals.
AMA New York and CKGSB Americas are co-hosting this U.S. and China marketing forum discussion about the implications of the research with marketing leaders from both the U.S. and China.
