Guest panelist, Peter Vazquez, CEO of Brand Echo Media Solutions will provide first-hand input and insights on the digital marketing agency’s role in authentically communicating with consumers in ways that also resonate with cultural values. Learn what makes minority groups greater consumers of mobile content, why they are connected more than any other groups, are heavier users of social networks and how you can leverage these opportunities.
A certified minority and veteran business owner, Vazquez personally understands the challenges, sacrifices, and resource limitations minority entrepreneurs face. As a representative of the local Hispanic community, he will bring his passion for leadership excellence, unrelenting drive, and fierce motivational commitment to the forum, offering personal experience and practical insights into the advantages created by the newest automated marketing processes.
Rainbow PUSH conducts several national initiatives in accordance with their mission to protect, defend, and achieve civil rights by leveling the economic and educational playing fields for minorities.
Moreover, the Rainbow PUSH Automotive Project seeks to forge new partnerships and alliances within the entire scope of the automotive industry to ensure fair participation and minority involvement. Topics for discussion include employment, dealership development, procurement, finance, and board representation, as well as other aspects of inclusion.
The PUSH Tech 2020 Detroit Forum is part of the Rainbow PUSH Tech 2020 Summit, an initiative of the Citizen Education Fund and year-long campaign. It is intended to illuminate the lack of diversity among leading tech corporations and promote the participation of minorities in the global automotive and other technical industries.
On May 6, 2015, Jackson spoke at the San Francisco gathering of corporate executives and activists, renewing his pressure on Silicon Valley to intensify minority representation in high-paying tech industry jobs. As a result of his efforts, Intel Corp. projects spending $300 million to enact diversity in its workforce over the next five years.
