This summer, I am working at GUESS in Hong Kong. I intern with the merchandising team. The office here is very casual, and everyone is so friendly! The walls are even covered with photos from GUESS' past and present advertising campaigns - creating a very fun and vibrant environment to work in.
A few of the images that cover the walls here at GUESS -they're the latest ad campaign!
During my first week working at GUESS, I was mainly given the task of pasting photos and other information into Excel spreadsheets (which was definitely not the most thrilling of jobs). Although I was less than excited about the initial, mundane work, it really helped me to get a feel for the formatting of the line sheets that GUESS uses. It was an opportunity to refresh some of my Excel skills, which was much needed.
At the end of last week, however, I was finally given a new project! I was called into a meeting with the buying manager of the China and Hong Kong areas. He showed me a business report that he had drawn up, which shows the success of GUESS by Marciano in relation to the original GUESS line in China. GUESS by Marciano is a more mature, refined, and expensive collection than the original. Recently, GUESS by Marciano clothing has been placed in a corner of every GUESS store in China. The report showed a number of figures which compare the two to show the success of GUESS by Marciano in GUESS' global line. My assignment for the next four weeks will be to draw up my own report of GUESS by Marciano's sales here in Hong Kong. Although this task seemed daunting at first, I am definitely excited to be challenged during my time here. I am already learning so much, and cannot wait to see where this journey takes me!
The reception area - so colorful and fun!
