THE DIRECTOR’S CIRCLE: Showroom Leaders On The State Of The Market - SHOPPE ON: Past Lives

Shoppe Object Co-Founder Jesse James has spent the better part of the past two decades working with countless brands as both a merchant and a marketer through Aesthetic Movement, the national showroom and creative consultancy he founded in New York City. For this roundtable he is joined by three friends and industry leaders: Alia Gray, Aesthetic Movement's Director of Sales; Karen Alweil, founder and namesake of the bi-coastal showroom Karen Alweil Studio; and Adriana de Mello, CEO of the Oakland, California-based sales representation agency Keena. They’ll dive deep in discussion on a range of topics, including the role and value of reps and showrooms, the changing landscape of brick and mortar retail, the importance of specialty goods in the broader market, and the short and long term effects of 2020 on our ever-evolving industry.
