SUMMARY:Impact of Culture on Marketing Effectiveness: sfAMA’s Second Annual Hispanic Marketing Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second annual Hispanic Marketing Event with Twitter\, Kaiser Permanente\, Pandora\, USF\, and the Center for Multicultural Science. Network with your Bay Area marketing colleagues and learn the latest findings that lead to success in marketing to this expanding market segment.\nAgenda:\n6:00 to 7:00pm            Registration & Networking: hosted bar and great food\n7:00 to 8:30pm            Welcome to the sfAMA\, Marketing Panel\, Q&A\n8:30 to 9:30pm            After Party Networking: gourmet dessert stations\nPanel Description:\nMany leading companies are moving away from a proven approach that takes into account the impact of culture on values\, attitudes\, and consumer behavior – in favor of “standardizing” their communication plans.

SUMMARY:sfAMA & The Research Club’s First Summer Social
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us for our first official joint Summer Social with the sfAMA and The Research Club (TRC). For this event we teamed together with TRC\, a global provider of social events held in London\, Amsterdam\, Hamburg\, New York\, Los Angeles\, and more\, who’s mission is to bring together professionals involved in the market/social research industry to make new contacts\, develop business opportunities and keep up to date with the latest industry developments.\nGet to know the sfAMA and TRC team\, as well as our members in an informal and relaxed environment. As we can’t promise a sunny San Francisco summer\, we thought it was more appropriate to get everyone together for a rather different Summer Social event at one of San Francisco’s most seductive and sublime\, passionate and intimate\, flirtatious and electrifying spots−Harlot.\nAs local legend tells\, the alleys of San Francisco’s South of Market district are named after the Barbary Coast era’s famous ladies of the evening\, the HARLOTS. Deeply coveted and highly respected\, the Harlot was admired for the services she provided. Time has passed\, but the city’s lore remains. From her infamous dark alley\, Harlot waits to please all who enters her doors. \nWith a full stocked cash bar and delicious appetizers\, take a moment to have a drink with old friends and meet some new ones! We promise you another great marketing event!\nDon’t forget to bring a friend!\nHarlot is located in downtown San Francisco at 46 Minna Street between Mission and Howard streets in the South of Market. \nMany Thanks to our Event Sponsors \n

SUMMARY:Time to Get into the Spirit!
DESCRIPTION:Join the sfAMA at Southside Spirit House and try something you’ve never had before. How about their Absinthe Punch for example?\nAbsinthe has a legendary past and is cloaked in a bit of mystery. Part of its allure was due to its aphrodisiac and narcotic properties. It was once popular with authors such as Baudelaire and artist Van Gogh who claimed it helped stimulate their creativity. Eventually\, in 1912 absinthe was banned in America and later in France in 1915. What we see as absinthe now is not quite what it was back at the turn of the 20th century. But it still might be fun to try. If absinthe isn’t your thing\, don’t worry\, there will be plenty of beer\, wine and other libations to suit your fancy.\nWhere: Southside Spirit House\, 575 Howard Street (between 1st and 2nd)\, San Francisco\nWhen: Friday\, February 28\, 2014\, 5:30pm to 8:30pm\nCost: $10 for sfAMA members / $15 for non-members\nCash Bar

SUMMARY:Leading the Marketing Planning Initiative - San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Listen to a sneak peek Leading the Marketing Planning Initiative Podcast\, by Instructor Greg Marshall\, Charles Harwood Professor of Marketing and Strategy\, Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College \nLeading the Marketing Planning Initiative Brochure\nA great marketing planning process can make the difference in whether an organization maximizes its opportunities for success or just treads water. Game-changing new strategies can result from a marketing plan—it’s a very powerful tool—but all too often\, it is a tool that is either underutilized or misapplied. Attendees will leave this session with a wealth of knowledge and improved skills needed to lead their firms’ marketing planning to the next level of success.  \nWe approach marketing plans systematically and from a best-practices perspective. Attendees are invited to bring their own marketing planning challenges and opportunities to the session. The session is conducted by an experienced marketing planner who will employ a variety of learning approaches including the sharing of best practice ideas among the group\, breakouts and feedback\, application exercises and a plan of attack to take home to lead your own marketing planning process. \nLeading the Marketing Planning Initiative – Learning Objectives\n \n\n  How can you lead and influence the success of your organization’s marketing planning process?\n  \n  Who are your critical organization partners in planning\, and how can you motivate their participation and cooperation?\n  \n  What is the current thinking on key elements of a marketing plan\, and how and why is each element critical to the process?\n  \n  Where can you source information for the various parts of the plan?\n  \n  What should you leave in or leave out?\n  \n  How should you “package” the plan for upper-management and broad organizational buy-in and action?\n\nLeading the Marketing Planning Initiative – Who Should Attend \nIndividuals at any level of an organization can benefit from this session so long as they currently are\, or plan to be\, involved in driving the marketing planning process within their firms. This may include marketers or others. The session is equally beneficial for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations\, as well as for both firms that are primarily service- and product-oriented. Also\, because the focus is on best practices in leading the planning process\, B-to-B and B-to-C channels of distribution are both welcome to the session. Of course\, entrepreneurs have much to gain from the session\, as well. \nLeading the Marketing Planning Initiative – Cancellation Policy \nAll Training Intensive cancellations and requests for refunds must be submitted to the AMA via email at cnelson@ama.org.
