Yield Growth Appoints Vice President of Marketing, Karla Cheon.
Cheon has a proven track record as a
marketer for successful, growing brands. As a testament to her
unique combination of marketing insight, brand-building talent and
business acumen, she was selected to lead or partner on the
marketing aspects of key strategic growth initiatives at Aritzia
during her nearly 15-year tenure at the leading fashion retailer:
Aritzia's expansion into the USA (2007) and Quebec (2013), its
eCommerce launch (2012), and its Initial Public Offering (2016).
Aritzia is a vertically integrated, innovative design house of
exclusive fashion brands. It reported net revenue of $874 million
in Fiscal 2019.
In particular, Cheon has deep
expertise in eCommerce and digital marketing, two areas of critical
importance to the success of any brand. As Marketing Director,
Interactive, she developed the content and traffic generation
strategy for aritzia.com. Later, as Director, eCommerce Marketing
and Online Experience, she was part of the team that built
Aritzia's first eCommerce website and was responsible for creating
its award-winning online experience. As part of the IPO team, she
also created Aritzia's first-ever investors website.
"As Yield Growth prepares to launch new brands and expand its
existing brands to new markets, Cheon's marketing prowess will be
invaluable," says Penny White, CEO of Yield Growth.
Cheon holds a Bachelor of Arts degree
with a focus on Communication, Culture and Information Technology
from Queen's University. She is eager to apply her marketing
know-how in this burgeoning industry.
"As regulations around
cannabis-based products come into alignment, there is a tremendous
opportunity for brands who can meet both the needs of an
increasingly savvy consumer who seeks high-quality, natural
products, as well as demonstrate a commitment to acting
responsibly," says Cheon. "Yield's portfolio is poised to take
advantage of this, and I am tremendously excited to be part of
shaping these brands."
