During my time with Vans, I led the creative for the surf category. This involved strategic thinking, planning, creative direction and execution to reposition and connect the brand's point of view and voice within surf culture. The point of view that was concepted, crafted and executed by our collaborative in-house team along with key surf culture personalities, artists, athletes and media led to telling experimental product marketing stories, building out event experiences like The Vans Duct Tape Invitational and Festivals, The Vans US Open Of Surfing and launching an award winning content series called “Weird Waves”.For me, this work has blurred the lines between passion and a paycheck. For Vans, the work has increased sales within their surf category by more than 12%.
