If you want to meet anyone in the bike and snow world, Chad could connect you. He's spent his career working at snowboard and bike brands for the last 20 years. From Jones, Nidecker, Options, YES, Spacecraft, POW Gloves to currently Ride Concepts. Chad has worked closely with each of these company's founders to grow them into who they are today.
In this episode, we discuss a variety of topics including the challenges Chad and Jeremy Jones faced from day one, to the rise of new media. We talk about the role that ski and bike films play in the industry and the future of filmmaking in a "send it" community.
From the episode:
"Take the opinions of others, but don't let that steer your course." (when it comes to building a brand)
"Good brands aren't built on the opinions of your peers, they're built on your opinion and your belief in yourself."
"Media is a way to gain knowledge now"
We believe that in a cluttered media landscape, standing out requires more than just telling a good story. It demands stories built on a foundation of solid research, strategic insight, and targeted distribution. We partner with brands to cut through the noise, crafting narratives and creative that not only captures attention but also deeply resonate with audiences, ensuring your message doesn't just reach people but moves them. Need help standing out?
In 2020, Port Side Productions launched this podcast to address a challenge we were facing ourselves: understanding how to make video content that was not only creative but truly effective.
What started as a search for answers has taken us on a journey through nearly 200 episodes, exploring every facet of the outdoor marketing world. Along the way, we didn’t realize that this podcast was helping shape our own approach to creating video work that actually delivers the results our clients need.
Now, our goal is to take you behind-the-scenes with experts from the outdoor industry as they share the secrets to producing creative work that delivers. If you’re seeking insights from some of the sharpest minds in the business, you’ve come to the right place. And if you're ready to take things further and need a guide to help you create effective video work, don’t hesitate to reach out and say hello.
