“Lilly is a true partner, strategic thinker, and collaborator, and is among the best problem solvers in the industry with whom I've had the pleasure of working. Her solution-oriented attitude enables her to guide teams and her lateral thinking navigates colleagues towards elevated ideas and outcomes. She continually pushes those around her to greatness, challenging them to overcome brand barriers with strategic, innovative solutions. Her marketing knowledge goes beyond traditional thinking; as a sponge in learning all elements of a business, she is humble enough to ask the right questions of her counterparts who are experts in their industries. Lilly is exceptional at managing deliverables, teams, and priorities, and she consistently exceeds the expected results.”

Lilly’s a creative visionary and a superb problem solver who has an innate ability to keep calm under the dizziest of pressures. I always felt like she had the best interest of me and our brand at the center of her efforts. Lilly continues to be a trusted resource, someone I look forward to working with again.

The incomparable Lilly Chu ran my New York advertising agency CarlByrd&Co. for over seven years.

She made it happen for the agency in so many ways: contract negotiations, photoshoots, video and commercial shoots with small budgets and million dollar budgets, she did it all. She managed the various personalities and work styles of not only our powerhouse clients but of an eclectic group of  full time staff and freelance staff, all with great aplomb.

Lilly accomplished all that with humor, tenacity and a work ethic that I have not encountered very many times in my over 25 year career in fashion/retail marketing.

Her honesty and candor are one of her best qualities and I experienced that within minutes of meeting her. One of Lilly’s greatest assets is her ability to develop strong and lasting relationships both professional and personal. I should know our relationship is still going strong after a decade. Lilly was and still is one of my most trusted advisors in life and in business.
