BREAKING NEWS & VIEWS

Toria Garrett and Leland Kass Named 'Lucky' Associate Publisher and Marketing Director


Wednesday, February 22, 2012

On Tuesday (Feb. 21), Lucky VP/publisher (since Sept. 2012) Marcy Bloom announced her inner circle with her hires of associate publisher Toria Garrett (ex-Vogue advertising director) and executive director/marketing Leland Kass (ex-Saks Fifth Avenue director of marketing and business development). The two join ad director (since December 2011) Bobby Graham (ex-Glamour executive director of fashion and luxury), and all three are reporting directly to Bloom.

She praises Garrett, who ended a three-year stint as a top Vogue lieutenant to VP/publisher Susan Plagemann, for "having a proven history of delivering client-centric sales and marketing solutions, and I know that she will further build on [Lucky's] strengths and progress." (Garrett succeeded Julie Arkin.)

Kass' "ability to measure analytics and build strategic stories will help add to Lucky's marketability."

Lucky is Bloom's first publisher's job (the former Gentlemen's Quarterly associate publisher succeeded now-Brides VP/publisher Michelle Myers), and she has made about 20 staff changes in rebuilding the 11-year-old magazine. Garrett, Kass and Graham are the most major.  

The fashion/shopping monthly's first-quarter 2012 ad pages were -14.50%, but Bloom has said that a better indicator will come later this year now that her team is fully intact.
