NEW YORK– NAMIC (National Association for Multi-ethnicity in Communications) today announced the winners of its Excellence in Multicultural Marketing Awards (EMMA). Presented in conjunction with the Annual NAMIC Conference, the awards competition recognizes outstanding marketing efforts designed to attract and retain ethnically and culturally diverse audiences and customers including African American, Asian, Hispanic, LGBT and other market segments. Scheduled for September 29-30, 2015 at the New York Marriott Marquis, the NAMIC Conference is held as part of the television industry’s Diversity Week.
On Wednesday, September 30, winners of the Excellence in Multicultural Marketing Awards will be recognized at a special luncheon featuring a keynote address delivered by Eddie Huang, the New York Times bestselling author of Fresh Off the Boat. ABC adapted his memoir into one of this season’s most talked about original television series. The sitcom, Fresh Off the Boat is the first Asian American family centric TV series in nearly 20 years.
A writer, entrepreneur and chef, Huang is widely known as the owner of New York City’s East Village restaurant, Baohaus. In his work as a TV personality, Huang hosts the Vice food show Huang’s World, Cooking Channel’s Cheap Bites and MTV’s Snack-Off. Huang is a panelist on MTV2’s Jobs That Don’t Suck and has appeared on Anthony Bourdain’s The Layover.
Recognizing the media and entertainment industry’s commitment to implementing best practices, the EMMAs highlight creative, strategic and innovative multicultural marketing approaches. The NAMIC Multicultural Marketing Committee, a consortium of the industry’s experts, provides guidance for the EMMA competition, which has two award categories: Case Studies/Campaigns and Marketing Tactics. Entries submitted in each category were judged within three divisions: Media Content Distributors, Networks/Industry Suppliers and Other.
