Footwear Industrial Promotion Center

• Advertising Services
• 1 - 100 Employee

• International Marketing Director

  • May 2009 - Dec 2010

  THE BFIPC is an organization set up by the local Korean government in order to transform the Busan footwear industry from a conventional labor intensive industry into an intellectual intensive industry. It is my task to help them professionalize all their services and to establish new profitable business relationships with foreign footwear companies aiming to buy, manufacture or sell shoes and parts in Korea. An important aspect of my work is to organize the Busan International Smart Shoe & Parts Fair (BISS), for which I recruited domestic and international exhibitors and buyers by visiting international footwear trade shows and expanded exhibitors to include American corporations, successfully creating revenue and business opportunities for the Korean footwear industry. I modernized all communication towards press and potential business relations, initiating the use of social media including facebook and twitter and webzines, gaining intensive international and local coverage of the event. I was also responsible for the follow up of these promotional activities, matching buyers, designers and media with the necessary contacts and arranging transportation and accommodation for VIPs. For BISS I organized seminars and forums and acquired industry specialists as speakers to cover each area. Furthermore, I founded the Designer Hill program, an awards scheme to promote both Korean and international footwear design talent. Special achievements: • Acquiring $22 million in orders for Korean companies at WSA in Las Vegas in August 2010 • Landing a deal with Nike to plan their Suppliers Fair at BISS 2010 • Assisted Baeksan in receiving a 2.25 million pair order from Columbia after BISS 2009 • Increased international exhibitor participation from 5% to 45% Show less
