Susie Watson Biography

Her main directive was to elevate the fashion image of the brand. She soon turned the initial jeers of "Why is Timex here?" at various fashion industry functions to "Timex is changing." Her public relations efforts resulted in a tidal wave of media coverage that put Timex on the fashion map. In 2000, Timex was named the #1 women's fashion brand (up from #5, #2 and #3 in prior years) in the prestigious Fairchild 100. And consider this coup: Sharon Stone sported a Timex on the cover of In-Style magazine. With that came the celebrity quote a public relations executive would kill for: "My favorite accessory is my $32 Timex."

 

She is a natural marketer with a visionary gift for articulating key cultural trends that translate into business opportunities. Her speeches and comments on fashion and popular culture trends are often quoted in print and electronic media, and she has appeared on numerous high-level marketing panels. Watson captures the attention of audiences through a compelling, charismatic style, and by tailoring and customizing content to create thought-provoking results. Adept at analyzing large amounts of information and zeroing in on the essence of what's important, she has a talent for identifying the underlying drivers and common elements that make up trends. Watson is a proponent of capitalizing on unconventional thinking, and being first in new marketing venues like the Internet. She foresaw the impact the Internet would have in 1994, featuring it in a speech to the fashion press, most of whom had never heard of it. Her high profile and credibility in the fashion industry has led to business relationships with some of the world's top marketers. Playing corporate matchmaker, she was instrumental in Timex's first watch company acquisition (makers of Guess Watches), and in the licensing of the Benetton and Nautica watch lines.

Watson draws from her marketing experience in the fast-paced corporate world to tackle a myriad of topics facing today's businesses. Among her most popular speech topics:

POP CULTURE TREND WATCH --The Who, What, Where, and Why: In a wry pundit-like style, Watson narrates a fast moving power point show that ranges far and wide over fashion, entertainment, marketing, and the communication arts (she steers clear of politics). It is humorous, pithy, sometimes controversial, but always truthful. “I compare trend forecasting to fishing, Watson says. "Through the net drop the small fish, leaving only the large ones. I fish for cultural trends in the same way. Small fads fall through, trends and ideas that are big enough are caught in my mental net."

WOMEN AND WORK --How to Keep Your Soul in Corporate America: As the head of advertising and brand strategy at Timex, Watson was the steward for 13 years of arguably the most famous advertising heritage of all time. How do you take care of your job and yourself and your family without losing your soul? She uses anecdotes, both funny and tragic, from her own personal search for sanity on the corporate roller coaster.

BRANDS SCHMANDS -- "First I marketed by instinct, then I learned the academic rules of branding, and now I would argue that no amount of analysis can beat a single strong vision for a brand," says Watson. Brands that follow the rules and those famous for breaking them will be reviewed, along with marketing communications do's and don'ts. In the end, Watson asserts, shortsighted brand management is what is killing American brands.
