TribalVision Vice President Suzy Im Featured in Fortune Korea Magazine

TribalVision Vice President Suzy Im was featured in the August 2014 issue of popular business magazine FORTUNE Korea. Selected for the featured interview based on her extensive experience in global marketing, communications, and strategy, Suzy discussed the increasing importance of inbound marketing with FORTUNE Korea.

The feature allowed Professor Im to discuss contemporary changes in the buying journey and offer advice to companies trying to adjust to the modern marketing climate. She discussed the importance of new strategies such as more sophisticated analysis of buying patterns and increased focus on content marketing. Professor Im also emphasized the importance of a long-term, integrated strategic marketing plan for companies, as compared to expensive advertising initiatives: “Companies don’t need big expenditures; they need big strategy. The fact that inbound marketing has become more effective signifies that the age of consumers needing to run around is now over.”

One of the greatest takeaways of the article was the importance of inbound marketing across company sizes. Size and big advertising budgets matter less in the contemporary marketing climate, and Suzy extolled the opportunities provided by content marketing for smaller businesses using inbound marketing. Suzy’s expertise in global markets also enabled her to offer advice to companies hoping to penetrate new markets. When asked about the Fortune Korea 4-page feature article, Suzy stated, “I was honored that a publication of the size and stature of Fortune Korea provided me with the platform and voice to let Korean and Asian organizations better understand the marketing revolution that companies of all sizes and geographies are experiencing. Organizations will either embrace this change or risk eventual extinction.”

Since joining TribalVision in 2013, Professor Im has served as a crucial figure in TribalVision’s entry into Asian markets. Suzy has also worked with Asian powerhouses such as LG, Samsung, and MK Media and has years of experience helping companies penetrate global markets in the most strategic and cost effective ways. TribalVision is delighted that readers of FORTUNE Korea will be able to benefit from Suzy’s expertise.
