Walmart Marketer Joins Multicultural Retail 360 Speaker Roster

Regine Moore, director of multicultural marketing at Wal-Mart Stores Inc., will speak on “Connecting with the Passion Points of African-American and Hispanic Consumers” at Multicultural Retail 360 Summit, taking place Sept. 26 in Rosemont, Ill.

She and Debbie Aguiar, EVP/managing director of Doral, Fla.-based agency Eventus, will describe recent Walmart sponsorships of the Essence Music Festival and the 17th Annual Latin Grammy Awards. The initiatives were designed to appeal to African-American and Hispanic consumers, as well as to position Walmart as a community leader.

To bring the excitement of these two major properties to the stores, Walmart created unique and interactive “retailtainment” program with enhancements and dedicated brand ambassadors. Moore and Aguiar will describe how these programs were successful in delighting shoppers and creating unique connections with the retailer.
