Liam McKessar is a fashion and lifestyle brand marketer who serves as Chief Marketing Officer at ANINE BING, the Los Angeles-based, Scandinavian-inspired label. An Australian who studied economics at the University of Sydney before crossing into fashion media, he has built brand and communications strategy for Vogue, Diane von Furstenberg, LoveShackFancy and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. He is known for blending editorial instinct with a commercial, omnichannel mindset - the kind of marketer who cares as much about how a customer is greeted in a fitting room as about the campaign that got them through the door.
