Businessman, adventurer to headline marketing conference

Healthcare Strategist Trend Watch, May 5, 2006

Richard Branson, founder and chairman of the Virgin Group, will be the opening keynote speaker at the Direct Marketing Association's (DMA) 2006 conference in San Francisco next October. Virgin's success illustrates how a multichannel marketing strategy is essential to achieving results-driven business goals, said the trade association's president and CEO, John A. Greco, Jr.

Branson is a trustee of several charities, including the Virgin Healthcare Foundation, which in 1987 launched an AIDS health education campaign and Virgin Unite, launched in 2004 to tackle some of the tougher health challenges facing the world today, including Malaria, HIV/AIDS, and TB.
