About Julia Lippman

I\'m a junior at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business, where I\'m pursuing a B.S. in Marketing. I graduated from Our Lady of Lourdes High School in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 2022. As a Marketing Scholars Candidate, I’m part of a select group of 40 students in a program designed to provide hands-on, high-profile opportunities that help launch marketing careers. This includes visits to top advertising agencies and exposure to industry leaders. On campus, I’m active in the Fordham Marketing Association and serve on the United Student Government\'s Marketing and Communications Committee. In my current role as a Wholesale and Operations Intern at Kiki de Montparnasse, I assist the Senior Account Executive and VP of Sales with key aspects of the luxury brand’s operations. During the 2024 Market Week, I supported buyers from major retailers like Saks, Bloomingdale’s, Farfetch, Shopbop, and Net-a-Porter with their selections and processed orders using JOOR. I manage inventory samples for events and photoshoots, keeping track of them in an Excel database, and handle client requests by uploading images and product details using RLM. My background also includes valuable hands-on marketing experience. At MCaseMedia, I researched and identified over 500 leads for ad placements in luxury magazines and created email campaigns with ConstantContact to boost sales and client retention. At Dana Blair Designs, a handmade jewelry boutique in NYC\'s Chelsea neighborhood, I developed and executed social media strategies across multiple platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Pinterest. My time at Hudson Square Boutique combined sales with content creation, as I worked as a Sales Associate and Social Media Strategist, producing engaging content for Instagram and TikTok. One of the standout academic experiences at Fordham has been participating in Gabelli\'s Consulting Cup. Working closely with a team over an extended period, we conducted thorough research and analysis, which culminated in a comprehensive presentation. We developed The Wandering John, an innovative optional repair service designed to address new legislative challenges and generate revenue. Our proposal was presented to a panel of industry experts, showcasing our teamwork and problem-solving skills. You can contact me @J••••••••@fordham.edu. I look forward to hearing from you!
