Repositioning the Korea Brand to a Global Audience
At the invitation of the Korea Economic Institute, in mid-December last year I gave a presentation at their Washington DC office on the subject of repositioning Korea to a global audience. The timing of the event was very fortunate, given that a huge snowstorm hit DC just a few days later and paralysed transport systems for a short while. Attendees at the talk included people from the Department of State, Heritage Foundation, Korea Foundation, East-West Center Washington, Federal Reserve Board, and the National Unification Advisory Council of Korea, George Washington University, World Bank, US-ASEAN Business Council, Brookings Institution, Foreign Service Institute, Radio Free Asia, and the Embassy of the Republic of Korea.
The good thing about such a diverse audience is that you can never predict exactly what is going to get thrown at you in the post-talk Q&A, which makes it a stimulating experience. Nicole Feinemann and her team at KEI did a great job in organizing the event and ensuring that it was well publicised and ran smoothly on the day.
