ABOUT MIRANDA WILKINS

Professionally, I currently work at Penguin Random House managing creative brand assets and operations for our licensed product development. I also coordinate licensed brand partnerships as well support the growth of @richardscarylove on Instagram. Previously, I worked in brand collaborations and licensing at Kate Spade managing both brand partnerships and licensed product categories such as eyewear, swimwear, outerwear, tech & watches. I also assisted with creating presentation and pitch decks for brand and design teams with licensee retail and marketing forecasts. Academically, I am a May 2024 graduate of New York University with a B.A. in Sociology at the College of Arts and Sciences and a minor in the Business of Entertainment, Media & Technology from Stern School of Business, Tisch School of Arts, and Steinhardt. My senior student thesis was researching the growth of internationally generated entertainment and media in the US. I have been an experienced intern in both the fashion & film industries with a demonstrated history of working in marketing, public relations, and supporting senior management on creative projects.My skills include strategic problem solving, creative thinking, operational organization, presentation design, writing, and social media. I speak conversational Spanish and conversational Japanese. I am interested in exploring careers within media production & development as well as marketing. I find that I thrive best in collaborative and creative working environments. I have had a variety of work experiences and am eager to build skills where I have not had professional experiences in yet. My longer term professional aim is to help expand representation within the media we consume. At NYU, I was a member of Delta Kappa Alpha (DKA), a cinematic society, and the NYU Stern Tisch Entertainment Business Association (STEBA) and the NYU Marketing Society. I held leadership positions at DKA as Director of Marketing and Director of Alumni Relations. I was also a former member of the competitive mentorship program within STEBA. I also held a student leadership position for a year as Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Panhellenic Sorority of Alpha Sigma Tau where I evaluated equity issues faced by community members. In this role I spearheaded a committee to find solutions that would allow for a more inclusive environment within the organization. I enjoy working culturally and mutually with groups to create impactful work.
