Diana True-Knox

Hi

I hope you’re doing well! I’m reaching out on behalf of Diana Knox, Marketing Director of Gwynn’s, Charleston’s legacy luxury department store (est. 1967), and a fast-growing creator known for blending fashion, retail strategy, and cultural storytelling.

Diana would be an incredible guest for your podcast. She brings a rare dual perspective:

Retail executive leading marketing for a multi-million dollar luxury business

Creator + content strategist building a rapidly growing personal brand

Creative director behind seasonal campaigns and in-store experiences

And the visionary behind the Gwynn’s Grand Holiday Book, a coffee-table style catalog she concepted, art-directed, and launched as her signature passion project.

If you’d like, we would love to send you a copy of the latest Gwynn’s Grand Holiday Book so you can experience her storytelling and creative direction firsthand.

Some topics she can speak to:

The evolution of luxury retail & what today’s shopper actually responds to

How she built The Gwynn’s Grand Holiday Book from scratch - and how modern catalogs drive real retail revenue and brand support from designers like Brunello Cucinelli, TWP, Rupert Sanderson, Zimmermann, Hulchi Belluni, Lafayette 148 NY, Pomellato, L’Agence, Trish McEvoy, and more.

Nostalgia as a marketing superpower (and why heritage aesthetics are trending again)

How to create multi-channel seasonal campaigns that feel cinematic and intentional

The future of in-store experiences & how to make people want to shop IRL

Using AI (Sora, GPT, and more) as a creative partner in fashion & retail

Building a personal brand while running a major retail marketing department

Trend forecasting: what’s coming in 2025/2026 across fashion, beauty, and gifting

How creators and retailers can collaborate in ways that are mutually beneficial

Diana is warm, high-energy, and a natural storyteller, she makes for a truly engaging interview.
We’d be thrilled to coordinate timing if you’re interested.

Happy to send over her media kit, social handles, talking points, or anything else you need- and of course, a complimentary copy of the Gwynn’s Grand Holiday Book.
