34m · Sapphire Stories Podcast · 09 Apr 21:36

Candy Harris has spent her career developing the visual marketing language of leading lifestyle brands.  Her professional journey began as she developed a youth marketing division at The Familie, a renowned action sports athlete management firm.  Having worked with clients such as Nike and ESPN, she honed her craft developing marketing strategies and brand partnerships around the world’s top surf, skate, moto, and BMX athletes.

Her love of crafting stories, and strategies, around athletes, led her to the role of Brand Director for iconic lifestyle company Billabong.  There she spent a decade developing iconic global events, campaigns, and collaborations, helping to expand Billabong from its passionate endemic audience to become a recognizable global lifestyle brand.

Following her time at Billabong, Candy pursued her passion for building brands from the ground up and joined Stance Socks, as one of the first dozen employees on board. Candy was a part of the executive team who grew the brand from start-up disrupter to category phenomenon.  Prior to founding Unlisted, Candy most recently played both Chief Marketing and Creative Officer roles at Stance, overseeing the Marketing, Creative and Experiential teams.  Having over 20 years of marketing and creative experience, Candy has developed her skills across various brand touch points from product category development, to events and campaign execution.  While at Stance she led a marketing team through several high-profile collaboration launches ranging from the likes of Rihanna and Jean-Michel Basquiat to crafting global Brand Campaigns and influencer strategies.

Unlisted Brand Lab has been a long time coming; a brand incubator and creative marketing agency that draws together her 20 years of experience and connections throughout the industry.
