Help us end hunger in Hong Kong at SES Hong Kong
Feeding Hong Kong is a Hong Kong registered charity with a mission to fight hunger in Hong Kong and reduce the amount
of quality food being sent to our city’s landfills. Each day, they collect high quality food that would be otherwise be
thrown away, sort and store it, and then redistribute it to a network of welfare organizations, who in turn feed thousands
of people in need. At the same time, they also work to raise awareness about poverty and food insecurity in Hong Kong
and promote healthy eating and nutritional education to the most vulnerable groups in our community.
We are proud to support Feeding Hong Kong’s noble cause by setting a challenge for all our attendees to help fight
hunger in Hong Kong.
To get involved and help out, we ask you to bring a couple of food items with you to the event. By the end of the
conference, we are aiming to fill the grey bucket placed in the exhibition hall with non-perishable wholesome food
products (E.g. Tinned vegetables, sardines, dried legumes, rice…).
Make sure you participate in this charitable initiative and visit feedinghk.org and find out more about Feeding Hong
Kong!

more complicated, and more exciting. Then there is social, email, display, video and …. so many more things. It is hard to un-

the meaning of the term, and the merits of a fully fledged integrated marketing strategy.
• How should brand marketers execute integrated marketing across 14 very diverse markets?
