EMMA Asia s Boss Somkiat Pookayaporn Since 2014 EMMA decided to win Somkiat Pookayaporn from Thailand to become the leading head for the platform in Asia." The need to have someone in charge for this important region was just there and to support the growth from the head Office in Germany was simply not possible. So we searched for a solution to have a local representative in charge for it. With Somkiat we found the perfect partner and are happy about the results, said EMMA CEO Alex Klett. Somkiat Pookayaporn was able to manage all the different standpoints coming from all directions and to canalize them into a common understanding of what EMMA s targets in Asia are. Somkiat was also the source for establishing meetings and conferences with Partners in Asia based on the positive experience from Europe. The target of these meetings is to find common ways to increase the CarMedia network around EMMA. The next EMMA Industry Forum is on Nov1 in Bangkok/Thailand.

the global car lifestyle network EMMA founded in 2000 has successfully emerged to a global leading community of mobile media enthusiasts, top-class mobile media specialists as well as committed entrepreneurs. Within the last years EMMA became a fast growing community which is now established in more than 40 countries worldwide. It is the nature of each individual to compete. The problem is always that a competition creates a small group of satisfied people and a huge group of unsatisfied people. EMMA has taken a number of steps to eliminate this situation. In the 90 s car audio competitions were battles between philosophies, teams and countries. The EMMA Car Audio Competitions in contrast are cool Events with a party in the evening and no bad feeling for those who did not get a trophy. It was a key priority of EMMA from the beginning to stop the fighting and to create a sportsmanship with respect for the work of others and the concept for competitors to develop their own audio system to a higher level. Instead of arguments we have friendship among the competitors and in addition, the relationship between the judges and competitors are much more relaxed. EMMA has consistently focused on providing a neutral, trend-setting platform to promote and carry the fascinating world of custom made mobile media installations to consumers. Primarily specialised on car sound competitions EMMA s activities are today also focussed on offering a professional communication panel to manufacturers and specialists to promote themselves and their products, and to gain best possible brand awareness. The partnership with Europe s most important trade shows and sound & tuning events is a strong cornerstone of the EMMA network. www.emmanet.com
