Lindsay Cook, the dynamic young director of marketing for the popular Joe Fresh fashion brand, will deliver the 12th annual Terry O’Malley Lecture in Advertising and Marketing at Brock University.
Cook will share her unique perspectives in a talk, entitled “My Journey to all things Orange,” which takes place Wednesday, March 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the David S. Howes Theatre at the University.
Listed among Marketing magazine’s prestigious list of Top 30 Under 30 in 2012, Cook will share the remarkable story of her rise from in-store signage specialist at Loblaw to her current role as marketing director of the widely admired Joe Fresh brand.
Cook recently led a conceptual redesign of more than 100 Loblaw grocery stores, re-thinking every inch of retail space to freshen up home, leisure and entertainment merchandise. At the same time she oversaw the enormously successful launch of Joe Fresh in the United States, including the opening of the first flagship store outside of Canada on Manhattan’s famous Fifth Avenue.
Cook is currently overseeing the roll out of dedicated Joe Fresh shops in more than 680 jcpenney stores next month, bringing Joe Fresh’s chic, modern and brightly affordable style to people all over the U.S.
This year marks the 12th anniversary of the lecture series that honors advertising legend Terry O’Malley, a native of St. Catharines and one of the most highly acclaimed creative talents in modern Canadian advertising.
