Experts will take the stage at engage.marketing to discuss new buyer groups

Learn what strategies these experts used to attract a diverse group of buyers

Lenders looking to expand their business by reaching new buyer groups must create an authentic communication strategy that reaches the desired audience where they are, rather than waiting for them to find you. With a growing number of Hispanic, Asian, Millennials and even Gen Z buyers entering the housing market, lenders have new opportunities for growth if they can understand and appeal to those groups.   

That’s why we’ve designed our engage.marketing session on How to Attract New Buyer Groups to address these opportunities. Leora Ruzin will sit down with Keosha Burns, vice president of public relations at JPMorgan Chase, Patricia Korth-McDonnell, chief marketing officer at Better.com, and Riffat Lakhani, vice president of marketing at Guidance Residential, to discuss the different ways their companies are serving a diverse group of buyers.

Here’s a closer look at these amazing panelists:
