Nielsen Government Affairs and the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) recently gathered a panel of experts on Capitol Hill to highlight the power of Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) women consumers.
As part of the AAPI Women: Using Digital to Build Community briefing, Mariko Carpenter presented insights from our new report on Asian American consumers. Asian Pacific American women represent the largest group of recent immigrants and are early adopters of technology, with the highest penetration of smartphones of any women segment. They have an influential voice that impacts the American mainstream.
Il nostro rapporto e la partecipazione al panel fanno parte del nostro impegno generale con gli influencer politici per promuovere la diversità e l'inclusione e per aumentare la nostra presenza presso il pubblico multiculturale". Durante l'evento, la deputata Grace Meng (D-NY) ha sottolineato l'importanza del lavoro di Nielsen per aiutare i politici a comprendere meglio l'acume tecnologico della comunità AAPI.
The briefing was not our first collaboration with APAICS. We also celebrated Asian Pacific American Heritage Month by supporting APAICS’ annual awards gala, which honors distinguished AAPI leaders who help strengthen its mission of building a political pipeline for the community.
