Growing up in a foreign country and reflecting on the immigrant experience of her strong, hard-working single mother, she quickly learned to follow suit and embrace the “immigrant work ethic” to get ahead. She fell into the world of email marketing during her senior year in college while interning (ahem, working) at a growth-stage tech startup, where she had the opportunity to build a b2b email marketing program from the ground up. Her favorite thing about email marketing is its chameleon-like nature (hello, spirit animal): it lies at the intersection of science & creativity and offers the chance to work with innovative partners like Movable Ink. Today, Philippia is the Email & Database Marketing Specialist at Steve Madden, where she is a constant champion for testing, ROI-driven decision making, and collaborating on forward-thinking programs. Her biggest accomplishment at Steve Madden came alongside the opportunity to co-build the infrastructure & strategy for the SM PASS loyalty email program, which launched with accolades from industry experts. She’s excited to continue growing in the industry & hopes that her persistence & youthful demeanor will remain with her throughout her career, motivating those around her along the way.
