A Conversation with Rising Stars
/In this episode Johanna Gottlieb talks with three of this year's PPB Magazine's Rising Stars, our own Kate Plummer and Kate Masewhich and Tiffany Wu. They shared their perspectives on earning this honor and talk about what they see for the industry ahead.
Tiffany is a sales and marketing manager at the family owned bag supplier based in Los Angeles Bagworld. Her father founded Bagworld in 2000, so she grew up in promotional products and officially joined the company in 2018. This year Tiffany has been in charge of implementing the new line of PPE products (sublimated masks, sanitizer, and more) into the company.
Kate Masewich is the Marketing Director of commonsku. She is passionate, driven, and always up for a challenge. One of the aspects of her role that she enjoys most is the many hats she gets to wear. Whether it's creating a new marketing campaign, releasing a commonsku feature, or launching an event, each day brings something new and exciting. She is an avid traveler and always knows the best spots to check out. When she's not travelling, Kate loves cooking meals for friends, playing board games, and spending time outdoors.
Kate Plummer is the Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Clearmount. While it was never her intention to go into the family business, Kate joined Clearmount over twelve years ago and has since carved a unique position in her business and in the industry as a thought-leader and voice of conscientious creativity. As Vice-Chair of the industry’s only peer-led non-profit dedicated to industry education, Kate is passionate about growth and challenging our industry to strive for greater progress in creativity and collaboration. What she loves most about the business is interacting with interesting and diverse clients, designing beautiful pieces and working together with distributor partners to build innovative awards and recognition programs.
