Description
Anik Champoux is the Programs and Marketing Director for Protect Our Winters (POW) Canada. An avid skier, Anik had the privilege of being a ‘ski bum’ early in her career, which led her to take a marketing job at Whistler Blackcomb, staying on through the eventual sale of Whistler to Vail Resorts. After a bit of time with Vail Resorts, she craved more meaning and purpose in her work, which led her to POW Canada.
At POW Canada, Anik focuses on building programming and marketing strategy through the next growth phase of the organization in Canada, enabling them to have maximum impact.
In this conversation, Cole and Anik discuss:
Protect Our Winters and fighting climate change
Lessons learned at Whistler Blackcomb and applying them to POW
What success will look like in a future focused on sustainability
Progress over perfection
The role passion plays in marketing
Building campaigns that get remembered
