Hi , 

My week kicked off with a co-presentation to the MBA students from the University of California, Irvine. I presented “Meet the consumer power house MILLENNIAL by Brandnow.asia”. My co-presenter was Laurel Tuohy the Managing Editor of Coconut. Her presentation was hilarious and I love the tongue and cheek articles that Coconut puts out. I got a really touching note from Michaela Vokounova, the event organizer afterwards. It made my day! Shortly after, the team and I flew to Singapore for several business meetings and tomorrow we’ll be joining the Millennial 20/20 summit.

We got 2 exciting events coming up this month for you.

"I’m constantly on the lookout for innovations, reading about industry news, studying consumer needs and changing behaviors. I keep asking myself what other services I can offer to my customers that will ease their daily life and fulfill their needs." Read more.

Consumers have come to demand a rich, engaging and an authentic experience. They have more channels to interact with brands and a wide choice of products to select. This has given rise to user experience (UX), which is more than just a buzzword as it can make or break your brand.

Join us September 28th, where Kizmo, a UX and digital strategy company and Brandnow.asia will give a talk on MILLENNIAL USER EXPERIENCE: WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOUR BRAND?

A major speaker for the annual auto dealers convention was visiting the rest room just before he was to speak to the 10,000 members. He was asked, "Are you our special speaker?"

"Yes, I sure am and I am excited to be here," he replied.

"Are you nervous?"

"No, I'm never nervous before I give a big speech."

"If you are not nervous, then what are you doing in the ladies room?"
