By providing high-quality marketing information and resources through its China website, www.AMAChina.org.cn, and its e-newsletter, Marketing Perspectives, AMA China and its staff will continue the tradition of excellence and relevance for marketers established by the AMA in North America. Through an agreement with the Training Center for the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs (TCSAFEA), AMA has developed the Certified Marketing Master (CMM) offering, a training and certification program for senior marketers in China, which will be launched and administered by TCSAFEA starting in the fall 2013.
AMA China will receive guidance from AMA International headquarters in Chicago, and will also receive strategic input from the AMA China Advisory Council, which consists of 12 marketing leaders from large multinational corporations and professors from top universities and business schools in China.
