What does your role encompass from day-to-day?
"My typical day means meeting with our PR team to go over goals and the status of projects for our clients. It could be anything from helping arrange a lookbook shoot for a brand to finding the right dress for a celebrity fitting."
How long have you had your gig and how did you come by it?
"My partner Jackie and I started MARKED in 2006. She was working as a sales manager for a designer that was also my PR client. At that time, I was also repping a couple of young designers that were super talented, but didn't have the proper sales and retail support to sustain their businesses. I realized that no matter how well I do my job as a publicist, sales is a key component to a brand's future. So, we decided to open MARKED, and offer both services to our clients."
What's the biggest perk to your job?
"The beautiful clothes."
