MarTech Interview with Julie Gu, Head of Consumer Marketing at Prezzee

Julie, could you provide an overview of the significant milestones and experiences in your professional journey that have been instrumental in molding your career in the field of consumer marketing?
I started out in traditional print media but I knew that digital mediums would be the preferred platforms of the future. While at Women’s Wear Daily (WWD), we wanted to enter the Chinese market but debated whether to develop a newsprint product or launch a website. I was part of the team that recommended, developed, and finally launched WWD China as a purely digital play. It was the right call and hugely successful for the brand.
