Pacsun CEO: “We’ve Sold 200,000 Pairs of Jeans on TikTok”


Listen Later

Pacsun CEO Brieane Olson sits down with Natalie on the sidelines at the World Retail Congress. They discuss:

  • Staying culturally relevant: how Pacsun transitioned from a “house of brands” in malls to a purpose-driven, culture-first youth brand.
  • Are Gen Z and Gen Alpha actually brand loyal? What are the misconceptions of these digitally native generations?
  • The power of co-creation: how Paris Hilton and A$AP Rocky are helping Pacsun to position their stores as culture and community hubs.
  • Physical retail: why is Pacsun opening 75 new stores in the US and what are the opportunities globally?
  • Social commerce: As an early adopter, how is Pacsun reaching shoppers on TikTok and China’s Douyin?
  • Conscious capitalism and being clear on purpose.
  • Women in retail: as the first female CEO of Pacsun, does Brieane think the industry has made sufficient progress?
