Suzanne Eagle is a corporate communications, public relations and marketing executive who has
represented some of the most recognized names, companies and premium brands today. Ms. Eagle’s talent for
innovative strategic positioning and her ability to identify modern market trends were developed first at New
York magazine and soon caught the attention of Conde Nast’s executive team, Calvin Klein, and Ronald
Perelman, who each recruited her to oversee their corporate imaging efforts. Later in her career, Ms. Eagle’s
clients resided in the Internet sector – Enjewel.com, the first “bricks and clicks” luxury fine jewelry e-tailer and
IPnetwork.com, the premier B2B intellectual property trading portal. For the past 12 years, she has been
president of her own corporation, Ask Aunt Suzy, Ltd., that designs and produces personalized documents,
collateral material, brochures and event specific materials.
The scope of her abilities including the development and implementation of effective public relations
programs, thoughtful crisis management and the conceptualization and execution of high-profile special events
ranging from very large to smaller scale has made her the choice of clients who want to maximize the quality of
their visibility and drive business in a highly competitive marketplace. Since she began her career, she has used
her ability to think and act expansively and cultivate high-caliber press contacts in the service of return on
investment. Her comprehensive experience in the magazine publishing industry covers multiple business
sectors through a wide range of focus of titles, social issues, as well as focus on digital introductions.
Ms. Eagle began her career at New York magazine. During a nine-year tenure, she served as Director
of Public Relations generating national and local press attention on the weekly, nurturing the image of the
magazine as the leading chronicle of its times. She aggressively promoted New York’s editors and stable of
writers including Anna Wintour, a fashion editor at New York who would first be recognized there as a major
force in the fashion world, and with whom with Ms. Eagle later joined again at Vogue. She was responsible for
creating weekly news on the contents of each issue, stimulating newsstand sales. Ms. Eagle worked with
television and radio executives to develop and produce regular programming based on the New York magazine
format. This included a weekly New York magazine radio program and a regularly scheduled television feature.
She became a spokesperson for New York and was frequently called to represent the magazine on television.
She produced a range of special events from anniversaries hosting New York’s socially prominent power elite to
politically-driven election year spectaculars.
Ms. Eagle joined Conde Nast Publications and enjoyed a seven-year tenure there. Initially recruited to
oversee the public relations efforts of two titles, Mademoiselle and Gentlemen’s Quarterly, her function quickly
expanded. She became Public Relations Director of Conde Nast, representing eight of its titles including Vanity
Fair, Vogue, Conde Nast’s Traveler, House & Garden, Details, Mademoiselle, Gentlemen’s Quarterly, and
Woman. Ms. Eagle was responsible for establishing Conde Nast’s first full-service public relations department,
an in-house “agency” efficiently managed with a staff of eight professionals without the use of outside agencies.
At Conde Nast, Ms Eagle played a critical role in developing public profiles for Conde Nast’s editors
including Tina Brown, Anna Wintour and Harold Evans, as spokespeople and image leaders in their fields,
celebrities and promoting the titles as image leaders in their respective categories. Within three months of
joining Conde Nast, Tina Brown asked Ms. Eagle to direct the public relations effort of the closely scrutinized
re-launch of Vanity Fair. In the six years that Ms. Eagle worked on Vanity Fair, she worked with their team as
an architect of the publicity that would drive the magazine into the international spotlight, developing a strong
brand identity for the magazine in the absence of its inclusion in a previously defined magazine category. The
spotlight and imaging strategy Ms. Eagle orchestrated was pivotal to the turnaround of Vanity Fair. Ms. Eagle
was responsible for orchestrating the intense publicity on the magazine, reflecting the wide range of topics
particular to its unique mix and using the strong voice of its editor in the press.
Ms. Eagle played a critical role in maintaining Vogue’s #1 position in the fashion magazine category by
crafting Anna Wintour’s media presence as the contemporary arbiter of fashion and style. At Vogue, she was a
member of the core team that launched such innovative and exciting public relations programs as “Seventh on
Sale,” which raised $4.2 million for the New York City Aids Fund. She spearheaded Vogue’s 1992 centennial
celebration, On the Edge: Images from 100 years of Vogue, a multi faceted public relations program which
included the publication of a Random House book, a major exhibition at the New York Public Library and an
internationally recognized gala attended by international designers.
Ms. Eagle worked with editor Harold Evans on the launch of Conde Nast Traveler, which entered the
travel field with a philosophical mission of “truth in travel” and consumer advocacy. Ms. Eagle successfully
accomplished the public relations objectives of introducing a journalistically driven travel magazine to a variety
of constituencies – the travel industry, advertisers and consumers.
She was recruited from Conde Nast by Ronald Perelman to join Revlon as Vice President of Public
Relations. Within three months, Eagle was promoted to Senior Vice President and her duties were expanded to
establish a new department at Revlon to handle corporate imaging. Responsibilities included brand promotion,
publicity and events production. She played a creative and strategic role in a collaborative effort between
Revlon and Vogue that resulted in an outsert, an unprecedented “magazine within a magazine” focusing on
Revlon’s “60 Years of Unforgettable Beauty.” She oversaw national and international programs including
Revlon’s Unforgettable Women” awards program and fragrance launches through Europe. She had an active
role in publicizing model/spokespeople, trends and products.
Calvin Klein hired Ms. Eagle as Senior Vice President overseeing all corporate communications, public
relations and imaging strategies for the designer and his licensees. In addition to developing public relations
programs that would focus on the designer’s women’s and men’s Collection line, Ms. Eagle focused closely on
imaging his then-new CK line, directed a public relations effort that launched his eyewear collection, and
worked on the launch of several Calvin Klein fragrances.
Her responsibilities included the ongoing management of the public relations issues that were raised by
the groundbreaking and provocative image that is the designer’s hallmark. Ms. Eagle reported to Mr. Klein and
managed a staff of seven. During her tenure at the company she was responsible for the internationally
recognized West Coast salute to Calvin Klein at the Hollywood Bowl, a benefit for Aids Project Los Angeles
(APLA).
Ms. Eagle was a public relations and marketing consultant to Enjewel.com. Within two short months of
the launch of Enjewel.com, the site became the topic of intense international media attention due to Ms. Eagle’s
ability to align the site with the controversy surrounding the 2000 presidential election. Within a four-day
period the “election collection” of jewelry was developed to commemorate an inimitable moment in American
history. Ms. Eagle was directly responsible for the vast media attention that followed with prominent features
on NBC Nightly News, CNN, Reuters Television, National Public Radio, Money magazine and The View as
well as newspaper features in every major market throughout the country. This resulted not only in significant
attention to the Enjewel brand, but dramatically increased sales from all over the country.
Prior to joining Enjewel.com. Ms. Eagle was Chief Communications Officer of IPnetwork.com. As a
member of its core management team, she played a key role in the content development, creation and design of
the Premier B2B Intellectual Property web site. A consultant during its early pre-funding stages, Eagle was
instrumental in the development of the business plan as well as the initial launch of the site. She developed and
spearheaded a public relations campaign highlighted by the site being heralded as “One to Watch” by Red
Herring magazine, then the pre-eminent magazine covering the Internet, within four months of launch and
international media coverage on the groundbreaking “first copyright exchange on internet.”
For the past 12 years, Ms. Eagle has been president of her own corporation that designs and produces
unique personalized documents, collateral material, brochures and event specific materials.
A native New Yorker, Ms. Eagle studied Rhetoric and Communications at the State University of New
York at Albany and Public Relations as part of the curriculum of the Journalism department of New York
University. She is an active supporter of arts organizations and offers her services to a range of organizations
that support issues faced by developmentally challenged children.
