Now for our first round of speakers… let’s get to it!
Keynote: “Winning With Digitally Savvy Mothers of Color™”
Track: Marketing
Who: Miriam Muléy, CEO, & Author, The 85% Niche, LLC—a research and marketing consultancy focused on developing strategy and helping Fortune 500 corporations increase market share and brand relevance among this country’s $1.5 Trillion Black, Latina and Asian women of color market will lead a discussion on the untapped market potential and digital relevance of Mothers of Color™. Using concrete marketing data and consumer insights from her book, The 85% Niche; The Power of Women of All Colors—Latina, Black and Asian (Paramount Books), Ms. Muléy will delve deeply into facts and compelling reasons why marketers should focus resources against this pivotal consumer group who controls 85% or more of all purchase decisions. Her goal is to dispel the perception that mothers of color are a niche, monolithic audience. She does so through gender/diversity savvy strategies.
Ms. Muléy, Puerto Rican by ancestry, holds an MBA from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Business. Prior to starting her company she spent 25 years in marketing, managing, and growing brands for Fortune 100 companies. She was Executive Director of the Diversity Growth Markets at General Motors Corporation where she was responsible for marketing to Women, Hispanics, African Americans, Asians, Youth and LGBT markets across the GM portfolio. She was also General Manager at Avon Products and EVP of Marketing at Carson Products, a hair care division of L’Oreal. Miriam is active on several boards including Women at NBC Universal “think tank”, the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), The Links, Inc. and Madrinas, an organization that empowers Latinas in corporate America.
