I Admire American Eagle Outfitters...
American Eagle Outfitters is an
international clothing brand offering on-trend clothing to teens and young adults aged 18-25 years old. I admire American Eagle because they are innovative and consistantly strive to bring something new to the table every season. They are passionate about offering quality products and service to their customers and openly embrace feedback and suggestions to help them improve their service. American Eagle Outfitters loves to involve it’s fans in their marketing campaigns. Every spring and fall season, they introduce the “Live Your Life” campaign which allows customers, and recently employees, to submit video entries detailing why they love the company and answers to the question, “What does style mean to you?”
I feel that American Eagle Outfitters is a
well-rounded retail leader due to their optimistic outlook and their attention to detail for everything that they do.
“
I truly believe that we are in the midst of a sea change in how the world thinks about commerce, defines success and understands how closely we are all connected. AEO will embrace this change with curiosity, innovation and courage.

It is thanks to her own struggles throughout life, that Arlene stays humble and appreciative.

“ I

look up to Arlene as a role model for how I hope to be as a business woman. Hopefully in the future I, too, can look back on my life and be proud of my accomplishments and know that I did everything I could to be here.
