Josh Weichhand is the Marketing Director at Chaco. In this episode, we chat about doing work you believe in and not giving up on the path to doing so.  We also talk about Chaco's use of their brand voice during the Bears Ear protection rollbacks and about Josh's own journey of finding his voice and doing work he believes in. For many, the journey to finding a good fit in a career is not without challenges along the way. For Josh, it took 6 unpaid internships, a summer fishing in Alaska, and a 9-month road trip to finally find his place at a company he had been a customer at since summer camp. From the episode: "All of a sudden Chaco found itself on the front lines of this very important conversation in real-time and had some credibility to it because we're an established partner of the National Park Foundation." "There's something about having this one really great pair of sandals that have been with me through it all and then getting to share it with people professionally."

Josh Weichhand | Finding and Using your Voice | Chaco

Chaco Footwear — the long-lasting do-everything sandal — is probably best known as a niche brand among hikers and outdoors enthusiasts. That’s how Joshua Weichhand first connected with the product. But it wasn’t until years later after traveling the countryside and visiting our National Parks that he joined the company best known for its Z sandals. Today, Josh is the Director of Marketing for Chaco and he’s trying to build the company into something much bigger. On this episode of Marketing Trends, Josh sits down to discuss how he’s helping take Chaco from a niche brand into the larger lifestyle company it's become today. Plus he explains how Chaco is embracing unprecedented circumstances in 2020, and why knowing your brand and your story can take you to new heights.   3 Key Takeaways -Chaco initially was just this niche lifestyle brand which over the last few years has evolved into more of a lifestyle brand -Collaborations are important, but knowing your brand embracing who you are and knowing when it's appropriate to work with other is key -Chaco mobilized its factory in the span of a weekend and prototyped and implemented a design to produce masks, producing over 1,500 masks in their first shipment. --- Marketing Trends podcast is brought to you by Salesforce.
