PORTLAND, OR (March 19, 2014) – Nikita Clothing and Bonfire Snowboarding are pleased to announce the addition of Vicki Vasil
as brand manager. Vicki will be based in Portland, Oregon, headquarters
for both brands, and work closely with the design teams, including
Nikita Founder Heida Birgisdottir, who is based in Reykjavík, Iceland.
Vicki most recently led the marketing team at a digital agency,
driving brand marketing, social media, public relations and content
marketing services that served both Ecommerce and brick and mortar
businesses.
Previously she served three years as Board Retailers
Association’s director of marketing, and has worked in several marketing
roles in the action sports and retail industries including Surf Expo
and Macy’s East.
Frank Aeschbacher, VP of Nikita and Bonfire commented, “Vicki will be
a passionate, integral member of our team. Her breadth of experience
and relationships in the industry provide her with a true 360-degree
perspective that will be important to brand growth and evolution.”
As brand manager, Vicki will be responsible for executing the Nikita
marketing strategy, which focuses mainly on digital and social media,
and with her know-how Nikita will quickly build the necessary brand
recognition to support its growth.
Her responsibilities will include
managing the development of new marketing initiatives targeted towards
the North American and EMEA markets for both Nikita and Bonfire.
“I have always been a fan of Nikita’s authentic brand story and its
quirky, yet individualistic design. So rare is a female brand that was
founded and grown by a woman for women, and not just as an extension of a
men’s line. I’m looking forward to applying my marketing and industry
experience to grow the brand through inspiration by our customer and
community, which has always been the fundamental strand of Nikita’s DNA.
It’s a privilege to also be working for Bonfire, one of the most
influential and important brands in snowboarding’s history.” – Vicki
Vasil, Brand Manager
Vicki’s years of experience bring a wealth of knowledge and energy to
Nikita that will amplify the brand’s voice and bring invaluable assets
to brand development.
