SHOWFIELDS Co-Founder to speak at RIWx PSFK Omnichannel Journeys event on June 3.
Square footage = gold in NYC, and taking on a 14,707-square-foot endeavor is not for the faint of heart. But Katie Hunt saw retail gold, and founded SHOWFIELDS, the self-proclaimed Most Interesting Store in The World. As Co-Founder and Chief Innovations Officer, Katie is changing the game in retail, and we are thrilled to have her on the RIW stage as a speaker during our free-to-attend Omnichannel Journeys event on June 3 at 12pm ET.
An innovator and ground breaker across categories, Katie was previously the third employee of Warby Parker, served as Chief Brand Officer for Hinge, where she led the charge for their relaunch and rebrand, and has worked extensively with startups in branding, product development, marketing, operations and fundraising. Katie is also the Co-Founder of The Fund, a VC fund made up of a community of founders and operators that invests and mentors early stage companies in NYC, LA and London. Busy, busy!
At Omnichannel Journeys, Katie will speak to the success that the retailer has been having with its Magic Wand, an app that offers customers a contactless way to shop in-store. Acting as a virtual retail advisor, customers using the app simply tap or scan displayed objects to receive additional information including price, add an item to a digital cart and finally checkout without assistance from associates. As customers shop, associates fulfill orders in the background, which are ready to pick up as they leave the store.
