Empowered Ideas Co-Founder, James Wong, Receives 2013 Gentlemen of Style and Substance Award for Contributions Toward Diversity in Leadership as Chapter President of the National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP)
On June 6, 2013, the Men of Semper Fidelis, Inc., honored eleven (11) Triangle area leaders for their accomplishments within the community, including Durham Mayor William Bell, Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez and the Chairman of the Wake County Board of Commissioners, James Bryan. James was specifically recognized for this accomplishments and work toward diversity in leadership here in the Triangle, through various nonprofit and professional organizations, including his role as the RTP Chapter President of the National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP).
Empowered Ideas Co-Founder, James C. Wong, was recently interviewed by Robert Lerose, a writer from Bank of America's Small Business Community.
Lerose's article focuses on how small businesses can leverage digital and social media strategies to help boost business during the sometimes slow summer season.
"We helped them with campaigns that specifically targeted segments of their clientele—triathletes, athletes, and sports enthusiasts—during the spring and summer season when their clientele is most active," Wong explains. "Right around the spring season, we started promoting massage packages that are targeted to pre-competition training," he notes. "We said how medical massage—not relaxation massage—can help prepare your body in the days before and make a huge impact on your performance. The campaign worked very well for them."Read the Entire Article: Sun, Fun, and Sales: Getting the most out of summer marketing strategies
