Marketing with Country Music
Educating corporate marketers and ad agency decision makers about
opportunities available with Country Music to meet brand objectives
is the goal. The Marketing With Country Music conference is the
vehicle. This two-day intensive conference, initiated in 1996, takes
place in Nashville and brings corporate America to the heart of
Country Music. An impressive array of keynote speakers, case studies,
round table discussions and panel presentations, combined with performances
by the latest artists on the Country Music horizon not only educates
these executives on the value of including Country Music in their
marketing strategies, but also provides a venue for creativity and
new strategic alliances. Marketing With Country Music is not scheduled
for the year 2000.
