MIAMI – With a constantly evolving world bombarding you with advertising messaging, the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce held their Annual Membership Meeting at the Little Haiti Cultural Arts Center to arm their members with imperative information to marketing their business.
“The Chamber is only as successful as its members and we are here to pour into our members,” said Chamber President G. Eric Knowles.

Marketing expert, Jessica Garrett Modkins, gave the keynote speech on breaking through the clutter.
Modkins, Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce Marketing & PR Chairwoman and Hip Rock Star President, led members to understand the essence of connecting with clients in today’s climate of information overload. “The way to understanding your brand’s importance is by connecting with your customer at every touch point. It is more than a logo, tag line, and slogan.”

The committee was introduced at the members meeting led by Chairwoman Jessica Garrett Modkins. Committee members include Suzan McDowell, Jimmy Nickerson, Dr. Tracy Timberlake, and Cedric Dawkins.
