Message from President
Dato' Sharifah Mohd. IsmailI have great pleasure in presenting a New Year message to all our members, friends and colleagues in the marketing fraternity.
The year 2007 has been an incredibly busy and rewarding year for us at IMM. We had a resounding success when we organized the ONE-Day Seminar with Dr. Philip Kotler world renowned marketing guru in August 2007
Dr. Kotler during his presence here was very happy and impressed that many organization and corporation as well as professionals have given their undivided support in making this ONE-Day Seminar a great success.
It was a memorable time for us to witness the attendance and participation of almost 1,000 delegates from across the industry and country as well as those from the Asia Pacific Region such as Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong at the Seminar.
In 2007 also we welcome 35 new corporate members and 85 individual members.
On the publication front since we re launched our newsletter MARKETEER in June 2005 we have published four (4) Issues of the MARKETEER incorporating marketing updates, tips and trends as well as variety of marketing news from different environments in the region for the benefit of our members and readers.
I am grateful to numerous reviewers and authors for their cooperation and contributions in the development of this publication.
Our gratitude and appreciation also goes to our corporate members in particular for taking up advertising space and thus helping us to defray some of the printing cost.
I believe the year 2008 is going to be equally exciting for us all. It will be a year of rapid expansion focusing on training and development as well as learning from world class speakers and the gurus.
On this note we will be organizing a ONE-Day Seminar with Professor Christopher Lovelock the world renowned services marketing guru on 29 January 2008
As knowledge sharing is such a vital part of our working lives, we see Lovelock’s visit as another golden opportunity for Malaysians to capitalize on, not just those in marketing field.
As the National Professional body for sales and marketing, our mission is to create a marketeer in everyone, regardless of age, job and profession.
Thus, we will continue with our training programmes to further improve the marketing skills of our entrepreneurs, professionals and everyone with an enthusiasm and passion for marketing
Moving forward and with your support I am greatly committed to continuing the growth of the Institute and intend to take it to a whole new level.
With very best wishes for a successful and fulfilling New Year.
