A Martha Stewart Brand Summit
It's always inspiring to get together with colleagues, review our successes, and look to what's next.
Recently, our own Marquee Brands hosted a Martha Stewart Brand Summit to gather teams, partners, and other collaborators for a day long meeting in New York City. I, along with members of our executive group, spoke about what we've accomplished over the last year and what we hope to do in the months ahead. We also enjoyed delicious hors d'oeuvres prepared by Chef Pierre Schaedelin of PS Tailored Events and lunches from Maman. It was a wonderful meeting of many minds.
Here are some photos, enjoy.

- Delicious sandwiches inspired by my own recipes were provided by Maman, the American French-inspired café, bakery and event caterer. We’ve teamed up with Maman to offer some of my own favorite savory and sweet menu items at their shops – be sure to try my fall offerings.
-
- Maman also provided two delicious salads.
-
- And some of my best cookies. These are my Ultimate Kitchen Sink Cookies with dark chocolate, coconut, sour cherries, apricots, and toasted pecans – they went quickly.
-
- Before closing the day’s presentations, I answered questions as part of a “Fireside chat.” It was fun and informative for the entire audience.
