And the power of partnerships. Lane Bryant, the plus size retail chain for women and SI, the male dominated sports media franchise, together shattered a few stereotypes about beauty with the choice of swimsuit cover models. The partnership\u2019s enormous success may be a welcome sign of a shift in culture that today\u2019s audience is supporting. In an interesting side note, the idea grew from a conflict that originated at the 2015 Media Innovation Day!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n<div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_row wf-container\" style=\"margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px\" >\n\t<div class=\"vc_col-sm-3 wpb_column column_container \">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/events.theadclub.org\/mid2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2016\/07\/chris_hercik.jpg\" class=\" vc_box_border_grey attachment-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/events.theadclub.org\/mid2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2016\/07\/chris_hercik.jpg 300w, https:\/\/events.theadclub.org\/mid2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2016\/07\/chris_hercik-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div class=\"vc_col-sm-9 wpb_column column_container \">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6633;\">About Chris Hercik<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>As SVP of Creative + Content for The Foundry @ Time Inc., Hercik is responsible for Time Inc.\u2019s state-of the-art, full service creative lab and content studio located in Brooklyn\u2019s Industry City.
