MediaPost Publications – Ann Taylor Plans To Cozy Up To Boomer Broads – 08/27/2007
ANN TAYLOR ANNOUNCED YET ANOTHER quarter of disappointing results, but says it has a big plan for bouncing back: The women’s specialty retailer confirmed earlier reports that it will turn a new concept for Baby Boomer women into a billion-dollar business.
The company also announced that Robert Luzzi will join the company as its new chief marketing officer, reporting to Kay Krill, president and CEO. Luzzi, who had been at New York & Co. as well as Estee Lauder, will “oversee all aspects of marketing, visual, and in-store environment for the company’s brands.”
