&lt;h5 class="program"  style="margin-top: .2em;"&gt;&lt;a href="/assets/ad-week-2009"&gt;SPECIAL ADVERTISING WEEK SESSION&lt;/a&gt; &#8211; SEPTEMBER 22, 2009&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The Time is Right: On the  Path to Multicultural Business Growth&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This session presented an expansive new direction  for supporting and enhancing multicultural business growth. A three year ARF  plan was  unveiled to replenish, rejuvenate and reinvigorate  multicultural marketing. Multicultural business success stories were framed by the presentation of a powerful new segmentation program developed by the US  Census Bureau to market the 2010 Census.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Three Powerful Case Studies: Hispanic, African American and  Asian American.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;PRESENTATIONS AVAILABLE NOW FOR ARF MEMBERS ON MY ARF &lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;h5 class="program" &gt;THURSDAY, JANUARY 15th &#8226; 2:30&#8211;4:30PM EST&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;The multicultural healthcare market &#8211; What's the right prescription for sales success?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Healthcare is a challenging business today, one featuring an aging population, a shortage of doctors, and a new administration coming into the White House looking  to make systemic change. But certain conditions &#8211; diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, obesity, asthma, HIV and AIDS &#8211; have higher incidence rates in ethnic communities than in the general population, representing profitable growth opportunities. Marketing healthcare to ethnic audiences brings with it distinct barriers and unique mindsets that call for savvy communication strategies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Marketing to Multicultural Men &#8211; How They Differ and How To Reach&amp;nbsp;Them&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You've heard it before: &amp;quot;Men  are from Mars, Women are from Venus&amp;quot;. But men also shop differently and,  as Madison Avenue knows all too well, men are engaged by different advertising  (and different programming) than women are. Multicultural men &#8211; especially  those located in urban areas &#8211; are often cultural &amp;quot;weather vanes,&amp;quot;  pointing out which trends and new products will become &amp;quot;the next big thing.&amp;quot; The council discussed  how to hunt for these heat seekers by better understanding their  nuances.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;But Aren't They All The  Same?&amp;quot; Smart Approaches to Marketing to Different Customer Segments Within Each Multicultural Market&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In  Chicago &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Would you market to Hispanics of  Mexican origin the same way you would to those of Cuban descent?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Savvy marketers realize that  multicultural marketing is no longer a game of &amp;quot;one size fits all&amp;quot;:  not only must you market differently to Asians than you would to Hispanics and  African Americans, but there are also unique customer segments within the Asian  market. And the same holds true for customers within the African American and  Hispanic markets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;How the  Multicultural Market is Influencing the Mainstream?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/thearf-org-aux-assets/pdf.gif" alt="pdf" width="16" height="16" /&gt; &lt;a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/thearf-org-aux-assets/downloads/cnc/multicultural/2008-02-07_ARF_Multicultural_Notes.pdf"&gt;Download Meeting Notes&lt;/a&gt; (PDF, 34kb) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How is the  growing multicultural consumer market influencing the U.S. mainstream? And as  those multicultural consumers become more affluent and move into predominantly  Caucasian suburbs, how is the &amp;quot;Mainstream&amp;quot; creating shifts in how  those multicultural consumers look at the world around them? What segmentations  and metrics are useful in understanding how America is changing?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Multi-Cultural Marketing Segmentation Project&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Multicultural Council  chairs explain plans for the Multi-Cultural Marketing Segmentation Project and how to get involved. The project&amp;rsquo;s goal is to understand current multicultural segmentation strategies, develop conclusions on optimal segmentation strategies and identify further areas for improvements. Participating in the project will be an incredible opportunity to develop expertise in multicultural marketing by working with the leaders in the field.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Focus&lt;/strong&gt;: 
    MCM segmentation across African-American, Hispanic and Asian-American segments&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roles&lt;/strong&gt;: 
    One lead for each segment team. Ensure that each lead comes from organization that focuses on research within the segment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scope&lt;/strong&gt;:
    Focus on defining a MCM segment approach using a current GM segmentation model as a starting point. We felt that adapting a successful segmentation approach would be the most time efficient. (Irma Gonzalez Clark, the co-chair of the council, graciously has allowed us to leverage a Millward Brown model as a more stable platform from which to develop three unique MCM segment approaches.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5 class="program" &gt;November 6, 2:30&amp;#8211;4:30PM&lt;/h5&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Segmentation Strategies for Multicultural Marketing&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the next 12 months, council members will form committees and work with experts in the field to understand current multicultural segmentation strategies. Each committee will present their conclusions on optimal segmentation strategies and identify further areas for improvements. An incredible opportunity to develop expertise in multicultural marketing by working with the leaders in the field.&lt;/p&gt;
