The Blade Dive, Episode 35 - We are joined by Canadian native, Oren Tanzer. Aside from holding high level positions at multiple big brands such as Red Bull, Quicksilver and Volcom, Tanzer is a human whose passion for both Snowboarding and his family runs very deep. Tanzer left his mark on the Snow Industry with the Mammoth Mountain crown logo, but he knows that his successes came from a collective effort.
A transplant to Venice Beach, CA, Oren Tanzer would eventually trade his dirt bike for a truck and make his way up to Big Bear and land a job as a Lift Operator. Tanzer was very much fixated on the Terrain Park and would be given an opportunity by Keith Pfahler to assist the Park Crew with the USASA Nationals build. His foot in the door, the rest is history… moving on to Mountain High and Mammoth Unbound.
Oren Tanzer would later use what he learned within Mountain Operations to tap into Marketing opportunities. While he could speak both resort languages, the selling of ideas that never saw production became old quickly. Currently, Tanzer is the President of Frankiebird Inc. and gets to skip the selling aspect and instead help companies make a plan, work a plan and then adjust to reality and bring to life!
Episode 35 is a passionate conversation with loads of side stories and tangents that revolve around the topic of ideation. We discuss what it’s like to step outside of resort operations and land a Marketing job. We talk Mammoth, WCI, Red Bull. We discuss the storytelling aspect of events and who the future customer is as well as how they tell you what they’d like to consume or participate in.
Enjoy! And if you’re in the machine, Turn up the volume!
