2018 GLOBAL MEDIA GUIDE
2018 GLOBAL MEDIA GUIDE 02 A MOSAIC There’s something deeply appealing about a mosaic. From ancient Roman murals made from stained glass to the stunning Indian floor patterns made of bright-colored flower petals, the concept of something big and beautiful born from small individual pieces transcends cultures and borders. The Amway business, too, is a mosaic. It’s a colorful compendium of people of different backgrounds and countries, desires and aspirations and of products and ingredients sourced from around the world. This issue of the media guide aims to capture stories, sights and soundbites of the global experience. Throughout the guide, you’ll see images of Amway Business Owners and photos they’ve shared on social media. Paired with stories sourced from around the world, this year’s media guide captures the international mosaic that is… @Amway.
