"As area businesses grapple with the best way to bounce back from this economy, effective marketing strategies are more important than ever," said Jaci Clement, executive director of the Fair Media Council. "Donny Deutsch's expertise in advertising, combined with his knowledge of the media industry, will make for a compelling keynote before Long Island's business leaders."
