Today, we’re joined by Kaki Orr, the Creative Director for Branded Content at The North Face. After a career as a professional skier where she was sponsored by The North Face, Kaki joined the company and has since led the charge to create mesmerizing films of their athletes skiing, climbing, and running across many of the world’s most remote and breath-taking mountains. We’ve talked a lot on this show about content to commerce but in many ways this conversation covers the reverse; commerce to content.

We talk to Kaki about creating authenticity while achieving The North Face’s goals, how these epic films come together, and how she thinks about risk throughout the process. Please enjoy this conversation with Kaki Orr.
