There Ken Weil is Vice President New Media (web) of Victoria’s secret, and he is a veteran of internet professional services. Not a long time, Victoria’s secret becomes the leader online brand. In web site has video present of company, fashion show, and catalogue brands. The most important, the company brings the fashion show to leading up newspaper and TV for advertising brand.
