Gannett/USA Today Network's Jenny Huang on cultural
nuances, being a dark horse, and moving to a new country at 16...Alone!
I've had the opportunity to connect with and learn from executives of major brands at MediaPost's Insider
Summits. In the process I've discovered some truly impressive women -- not only for the work they do, but their stories behind the scenes. With
Brand Insider: BTS, I get to pull back the
curtain on some of the most influential women marketers as they talk about their path to success: the twists and turns, obstacles, inspirations and the valuable lessons learned along the way.
What does it mean to be a “wild card”? For Jenny Huang, it’s meant never following the obvious path—and thriving because of it. At just 16, she left
a small town in China to move to the U.S. alone, chasing her dream of becoming a concert pianist. Years later, when the pandemic shut down the music world, she took another leap, pivoting into
advertising where she quickly rose through the ranks, creating award-winning campaigns for Fortune 500 brands. Now, as the first Director of B2B Brand Marketing at Gannett | USA Today Network, Jenny
brings that same resilience, curiosity, and boldness to corporate America. In this episode of Brand Insider: BTS, she shares with Lisa Singer how being underestimated taught her to craft her
own path, why failure became one of her best teachers, and how she’s continuing to redefine what it means to stand out. Watch the full conversation in the video above.
