I'm working as an account executive for an Asian community newspaper called NW Asian Weekly. We also publish the Seattle Chinese Post. I can help you think of innovative marketing ideas to advertise your business. We sponsor the Women of Color Empowered Luncheon three times a year (Jan., May and Sept.). Our NW Asian Weekly Foundation gives out scholarships to high school students in March for the Diversity Dinner. We also honor local Asian American community people at our dinners: Pioneer Dinner in Oct. and Top Contributor's Dinner in Dec. Please contact me if you are interested in our newspaper.

I can think of better ways to market your your small business. I can also help with a personal make-over. I'm a experienced event planner too with connections with hotels and venues in downtown and Bellevue. If you have a special event you like me to negociate a contract with a hotel, please let me know. For smaller events I think of different restaurants in the Int'l District and other areas you can use.

I'm looking for clients to work with for special events, besides new customers for our community newspaper. I can coach you on how to improve your marketing and how to network.
