How Patagonia Grows Without Making You Buy More, with Former Digital VP Angela Clark

Liam: All right, Angela, excited for today’s episode. We are in Palm Springs. You traveled off from LA this morning. I’m excited for this. Your experience is something that I think so many people will and have looked up to across their career. You would have worked with so many people. Incredible brands like Patagonia, Levi’s, etc., which are quite mammoth businesses that everyone knows. For those that don’t know you, though, why don’t you give a quick introduction and who you are.

Angela: Yeah. I am the head of digital for Patagonia. So I run everything e-commerce as well as retention, acquisition and customer experience on platform. And my career has been really about business strategy centered around e-commerce in particular. Started in merchandising, though. I started on the ground floor selling clothes through high school and college and loved the industry. Got a business degree, and the two married up really well for the beginning of my career. And then I’ve had the pleasure of working for amazing, iconic brands like Levi, Pottery Barn, Elf Cosmetics. And the last four years have been at Patagonia, which has been such a unique and amazing challenge, and it’s been an incredible brand to work for.

Liam: How has that growth journey been over the last couple of years?

Angela: The growth at Patagonia has been quite interesting. They’re 52 years old now, and we call it an experiment, and it really feels like that a lot of times. There’s just a real innovation mindset with everything that we try to do, and we have such strong values that we center everything around. As you may know, the mission for Patagonia is to save the home planet. And that is a very profound statement. It’s a huge statement. And every day we question ourselves on how do we do that. We evaluate, are we doing it well? Are we doing it well enough? Because it’s a big ask, but it’s a huge need. And I play a very small role in that mission by running one of the sales channels, but I also hold the position of getting the brand voice out there from platform and across other platforms as well. Making sure that we have that balance of encouraging people to do the best that they can to support our mission, as well as buy products that they know they can have in their life forever and then keep that product in play as long as they possibly can.

Liam: It’s incredible. And the brand is so well-known across the U.S., but globally too. What is it like working for a brand that cares about the planet so much — down to the point where maybe it’s not sustainable for people to buy so many items. You still need to grow revenue. You’re still responsible for driving customer acquisition. What is it like working in a brand with the vortex of both of those pressures?

Angela: It’s challenging, to be honest with you, because a lot of what I call your playbook as a marketer, you have to either not do or change how you do it. When you talk about acquisition, there is a very strong challenge for anyone within the brand to not create false consumerism. We absolutely want to sell the best product possible. We want people to find the product that they need for what they need to do — whether that’s climbing a mountain, surfing, hiking on a trail. But at the same time, we want you to find that perfect item. And if you have that item in your life for 25 years, then we feel like we’re winning. So then the question sometimes is, how do you keep selling more stuff? And people challenge us sometimes: are you actually saving the planet when you’re making and selling stuff? And I think part of the goal of the brand is that as we make and build things and learn how to do things more sustainably and continue to do things cleaner, faster, better, hopefully we build a model that other businesses can also model after. Organic cotton is a great example of that. Patagonia was the first company to do organic cotton as a product. And then other brands said, oh yeah, we could do organic cotton too, right? And it sustains an industry that’s now changing behavior. So for me, my challenge is there are assumed behaviors. A typical marketer — you didn’t buy that item, I’m going to hit you back two hours later: hey, you can get that now for 10% off. Or hey, sign up for this discount. That sort of thing. We’re a premium brand, first and foremost. So the way to encourage people is to really build that long-term connection with the brand and that brand affinity, as opposed to that quick hit.

Liam: What are some of the things you implemented to achieve that? Rather than just that rush of come back to purchase now, do this, do that. Immediate offers. What did you do differently?

Angela: A lot of what I did specifically in digital was really reevaluate how our customer journey and messaging works. Really bringing people along a long-term journey and knowing that it’s not something that’s going to happen in a month or two months — there’s a long-term commitment there. I did a lot of research on what our customers love about our product, what they love about their experience with Patagonia, and what they appreciate about our mission. And so I had my team build — and we’re still in the phases of this — a new metric measure so that we can measure how we value customers that align with the brand values. So instead of just evaluating someone on customer lifetime value, transaction volume, those types of things, we’re also measuring: did you just engage with our content? How often do you engage with content? Does that cause you to take an action? Do you donate because you watched a film about something? Did you go to a store event? Our stores are community centers. There’s book signings, all types of things happening in the store besides selling product. And we look at that entire ecosystem — if someone engages with Patagonia not just to buy a product, but also to repair an item, to buy a used product, to maybe buy another brand like our food product, that customer becomes more valuable in a different way. Because we see those people are the ones who are going to help us fight our mission in the long run.

Liam: Something that has made all of this possible is your passion behind building an incredible team to execute on these things. So it’s not just the mission of the company externally — it also comes internally at Patagonia, from leaders like you. Something you’ve spent a lot of time on is building a great team and the development of talent. How are you actively thinking about that?

Angela: It’s something I constantly think about. I think it comes a little bit from my own personal journey where I felt there were times I didn’t have enough advocates for myself and I didn’t advocate for myself enough. And so I am fiercely protective of my team and give them opportunities all the time. What that looks like for me is my direct reports are constantly protected. We launched a tool to find a jacket — we have 170 different styles of outerwear. The site wasn’t dynamic enough to give you a lot of that information in a concise way. So we bought a tool that takes you on a path, you answer questions, and it tells you what you need. I’d done that tool before at other brands with a lot less technical product, so I was a little concerned. My biggest concern was that our data wasn’t clean enough for that tool to work well. But I let the team run that project because I knew in the background it was going to force the issue that our data wasn’t clean. So the project itself failed. But what it did was inform the rest of the organization that we have to really spend time and energy making sure we have all the data points so that we can take information straight to the customer — instead of having it fall flat through nine different tools and eight different people. Especially now with machine learning and AI, it needs that data to be accessible. So that pipeline was a great learning experience for the team, and it was also a catalyst for us to make other changes. And sometimes the person who comes up with an idea isn’t the manager — it might be someone who’s two years into their career. I’ve been known to take that person, they presented an amazing deck to me, and I said: I’m meeting the CEO in my one-on-one next week. You’re coming in for 15 minutes to present to the CEO. I would have loved that opportunity in my mid-20s. And I think those are the types of things that really resonate with the team. They get that connection and that opportunity. And then the CEO knows who’s running an affiliate channel, so next time I’m talking about it, it connects with him as well. It kind of works for everybody. And it really moves the culture to be less siloed and helps people know that whatever they want to do is possible. My job as a leader is to help cultivate that talent. It’s not really about me — it’s really about the team and what people are trying to achieve in their personal lives.

Liam: And then all of a sudden you notice these people take way more ownership, and they’re driving these projects forward faster than ever. They’re proud to talk about it. Even if it’s failing, it’s never anyone else’s fault because this person has decided to take it on. How do you think about hiring people that are super senior in their career — they’ve got everything on their LinkedIn, they should be the best — versus hiring someone that is fresh out of college, just wanting to get into the world of e-com or digital, and shaping them. How do you balance that?

Angela: Great question. I would say it really depends. I have worked for brands where I had a ton of fresh talent, fresh out of college. What I love about that younger talent is nobody’s hungrier or more eager to learn. Energetic — and that cannot be understated. If you’re young and you have that talent, do not waste it. Use it. Power into that. Because when you’re younger, you can just outwork some other people in the organization, and that’s how you learn. And then the more mature person — they might not have that same tenacity, they’re done at five o’clock, but what they have is the knowledge and expertise of: I’ve seen this pattern before, and I know how to shortcut it. They have the cheat codes. I also think about the organization itself, because I’ve had some companies where I’ve wanted to hire greener talent but I knew they wouldn’t be able to succeed because we didn’t have the infrastructure to support them well. So I would tend to hire somebody a little more seasoned because I know they’re just going to be thrown feet to fire and they’ll have to learn how to swim. Green talent still needs a little support. Even the smartest, brightest person needs a bit of structure to make sure they’re going in the right direction. I’ve definitely hired people where I’m like, I’ll see you in a week. Here’s your to-do list. I can’t talk to you right now, but here are the three people you can talk to to make that happen. There are ways to manage that. But I also look at the organization and what their strong suits are. Some organizations, unfortunately, don’t spend a lot of time thinking about how to cultivate their talent — and that might determine how I hire for that role.

Liam: In the world of AI now, something that’s coming up a lot is people fearing for their jobs. Particularly people in marketing. There’s image generation tools, text generation. You land on half the websites today and all the imagery is AI generated. I feel like people are fearing it too much. We should be fearing the basic jobs, whereas people truly need to be the best at what they do now and making impact on the things that truly matter — rather than sitting there spending time on things like image generation. How do you think that talent should evolve and people should think about AI in their career? Because the biggest saying at the moment is you should fear people that are really good at AI and using AI, rather than fearing AI itself.

Angela: Yeah, I 100% agree with that. I think what’s really important is when you are using those tools to unlock what you actually want to spend your time and energy on, you’re going to be better at that. And I keep reading about how there’s going to be a second wave where people who are critical thinkers, people who are highly creative, are actually going to have an extra superpower and be even more valuable. Because I can put in a tool — I call it the junkinator — here’s an image, cut it five different ways. I don’t need a human being doing that. The human being should be thinking about: strategically, I have the assets for TikTok now — how can I test and learn on TikTok instead of actually cutting the images or video for it? I’d rather have people spend their time and energy on that. And honestly, I think a lot of the layoffs we’re seeing that people are blaming on AI would have happened without AI. They’re using AI as an excuse. I know it’s kind of a radical thought, but I think a lot of times they are. They were already looking at how to optimize their teams. A lot of people are doing a lot with fewer people. When they do rounds of layoffs or someone leaves, how many times do they quickly replace that person? A lot of times they ask you to pause. So as you’re working, you’re asked to do more with less. You need those AI tools to help you optimize that. And the people who do learn how to use those tools — to give them the ability to think about things that are really strategic — that’s where the magic happens. That’s where the power is. It’s not someone sitting at their desk chatting away. It’s the ones who are getting up, going to talk to someone: I have this idea, I don’t know how to do it, I’d love to talk to you about it. Those are the magic moments in the brand, and you’ll get more of those if you can come off your desk and not be worried about the mundane things like scheduling your calendar.

Liam: Absolutely. Before we dive into AI deeper and things like retention, I really want to get back to the basics. Something you’re super passionate about is — before we chase after the bright shiny things of business today — mastering the customer journey. What does that even mean?

Angela: To me, that means don’t skip over the fundamentals. I always tell the team: if someone’s come to your brand, I don’t want to get in the way of them giving me their money. It should be easy to check out. It should be easy once I’ve decided what I want — make it happen. And that sounds really remedial, but you’d be surprised how many times we’re already thinking about the next fancy thing or what happens after they’ve checked out, but the checkout is still clunky. Fix the checkout, and then maybe you can worry about add-ons. I was just talking to someone the other day and they were like, yeah, someone couldn’t remember if they bought something online or in store. To me, that’s phenomenal. That means they had a seamless transaction they didn’t have to think about. The other fundamental is: I have an issue, I want to try to solve for it, I’ve come to your brand. Are you the right person to help me solve for it? How can I solve that quickly? And then, oh, there might be something else I didn’t even know I came for. And now I’m going to come back again. I think that’s where Patagonia is a great example of that. We have new product. We have used product. We’ll help you repair that product. We’ll take it back. If it failed you, tell us — we’ll find a solution. All of those things were on different platforms, different URLs. We brought all that together. So now on your PDP, you can buy a new product, you can buy a used product. As you’re checking out, we can say: hey, if you need to repair that, or if you want to send something in for trade-in, did you know we could repair that for you? Here’s how. It all starts to become very seamless. And now you’re like, oh, I know when I’m buying this item, I’ve already seen an indication that I could sell this back later for a pretty good price. So that sends a message of quality without me screaming, hey, we’re a high-quality brand. It’s those stepping stones to getting things right that just fundamentally make everything better.

Liam: What do you think most brands are getting wrong when it comes to the customer journey?

Angela: I think retail as an industry — and I’m speaking about apparel and home furnishings in particular — they tend to move a little slower on technology, which sometimes is actually an advantage. Because sometimes when you’re at the forefront of it, you’re the one with the machete cutting the path. I’m going to let someone else do that. I want to be right behind them to see, oh, there’s actually a dip right here — let’s figure out how we get down that, as opposed to being the person who just fell down it because they were the one with the machete. I really want to make sure we’re making the right decisions. And sometimes you have to slow down a little bit and see what makes the most sense for your brand. We had a lot of conversations about where do we invest in AI and how do we invest in AI. We didn’t have a chatbot on the site for a long time because we didn’t feel like it met our customer standards. Now I think chatbots are much more sophisticated. On our platform, someone might put in: I’m going on a hike and it’s going to be minus 25 degrees. You better give them the right jacket. It could be a life-threatening situation if you give them the wrong recommendation. So the stakes are higher. In those types of situations, you need to make sure that technology meets that standard, and if it doesn’t, we’re going to force you to call somebody — because we know we can give you the service you need. That might feel old school in that moment, but until that technology got to a point where we felt confident it could match what that person on the phone would do, we weren’t willing to sacrifice that customer’s experience.

Liam: Something we talk about a lot on this podcast is retention. Post-purchase. How do you think about that? It’s equally as critical to give someone the right recommendation, to actually personalize the content they’re viewing — not just address them by their first name. Especially for a brand like Patagonia, where they care about their customer forever because it’s not just the product, it’s the mission. How did you think about retention, and where do you think that’s going to change with AI?

Angela: Retention is mission critical. One, because even before the cost of acquisition started going through the roof post-pandemic, you already have that customer. So it’s a lot cheaper to keep them, full stop. But more importantly, if you have someone who already appreciates the brand for what it is, why not deepen that relationship and connection? That’s how I see retention. I’ve been pretty passionate that retention is not a one-way street. It’s a two-way relationship. So we’re always asking: what can I give to the customer, and what can they give to me? There’s a symbiotic relationship there. When I first came to the brand, we were doing batch and blast — like 90% of our content. So it was moving away from that. Batch messages are really important for a brand like ours because storytelling matters and they put a lot of time, energy, and money into it. But then you start to peel away those layers — where can we be more specialized? A brand like Patagonia has surf product, biking product, product for snow adventures. You might be a person who only cares about surfing. Why am I going to send you an email about Patagonia kids? That’s just a waste of money. So when you have this dynamic of customer base, it only makes sense to invest in being able to talk to them about the sports they care about. At minimum. At maximum, the exact product they want next. We’ve been talking about: if someone buys a kid’s product, you kind of know that child has a journey. So when might they grow out of that thing and be ready for the next one? Can we message them a year later — hey, that kid’s jacket, winter’s coming around again, you might want to trade in the old one and get a new one. And by the way, you can trade it in and we’ll give you money toward the next one. That’s when it becomes a really rich experience for the customer. And I think more brands, even if they don’t have all those different levers, are continuing to think about brand loyalty completely differently. It’s not about how many times you come to the site to purchase. It’s whether you have that brand love — you’re on our social platforms, you go to the store. That’s the ultimate customer experience, especially if your brand has something to stand for.

Liam: And when you describe it like that — actually receiving communication, email, SMS, etc., about the products you’re actually interested in — it sounds so basic. How are most brands just not doing it today? Not doing it well?

Angela: Yeah, and I think that’ll change, particularly with AI — content generation is so much easier now.

Liam: I even find it crazy that when you abandon an item on most websites, you’ll just get a generic email. Hey Liam, saw you left this item in your cart, come back to purchase. And you’ll click visit website and it doesn’t even load the cart. It has nothing in the email or the SMS about what you were browsing. Those pieces of communication are just so basic. I think that’ll change very rapidly. What other changes do you think will come to retention marketing or the customer journey over the next two or three years?

Angela: I think for us, retention was such a small part of our sales that I was like, this is not okay. Most brands I’ve worked for have been anywhere between 25% to 35% of revenue coming from retention. When I came to Patagonia, it was under 10%. Part of that was we had amazing earned media. But there were definitely a lot of things we were missing the mark on. At the time, four years ago, we didn’t have SMS. And our emails were all built one-of-one, rich storytelling — there wasn’t that automation piece. So as we built out the lifecycle marketing, that’s what really scaled and doubled that channel within two years, and continues to grow it as tools get more sophisticated. What I’m seeing is people really changing how they communicate with customers. They might say: we’re going to talk about this coffee mug — how do we want to talk about it in every channel and every place it shows up? In stores, it’s displayed in the front window. On dot-com, it’s messaged this way. On platforms, I’m going to message it. And in real life, there might be a coffee festival we want our mug at the center of. Thinking about every touch point a customer might interact with as you’re marketing, as opposed to the siloed approach where digital is doing this and retail is doing that. I use Elf Cosmetics as an example — they’ve completely restructured their company to focus around: here’s the thing, and here’s how we’re going to show up at every touch point a customer might interact with it. I think that’s really smart.

Liam: Yeah, that is very smart. On that point then, what do you think are the traits of companies that just continue to grow incredibly quickly versus companies that get stuck?

Angela: I think one of the biggest things is companies that can pivot quickly. When they see an opportunity, they’re fearless about investing people, time, and resources into something. Obviously you want to test and learn, you want to take calculated risk. But the brands I’ve worked for that grew fast — and I’ve worked for a lot of brands that were double-digit comping year over year — it was about quickly identifying where you might see a bright shiny light and going after it. And not being afraid to walk away from something. When you have a really strong perspective on what the brand is overall, it gives you the freedom to know that’s your North Star. But how you get there — you can go north, you can zig left, you can zig right. You test those things out. I started in merchandising, so I have tons of examples of testing into a product or even a colorway and finding: oh, we had no idea our customer loved that thing.

Liam: What was the biggest shift that maybe surprised you over the last 12 months? Something that you’d been doing for a long period of time that all of a sudden you had to pivot on because you were falling behind?

Angela: Honestly, this is going to sound like a generic answer, but I’m going to say AI. Because for our brand and for myself in particular, I could see the writing on the wall and how it’s going to revolutionize — and is revolutionizing — retail. For a brand that is a little afraid of technology when it comes to touching the customer in particular, I spent a lot of time educating and advocating for it. But then it became mission critical. My conversation with the C-suite went from: here are some amazing things we can do — to: other brands are doing this, and if we don’t get on this train, we’re going to be left behind. The ability to get market share, the ability to protect your brand. I think the biggest pivot for us was understanding that if people are using agents to shop from your brand, they may never get your brand message. They never saw the site. They never saw that big, beautiful thing you’re messaging. So what are the things you can do to make sure people really understand and experience the brand the way you want them to? Our answer to that was to build a web app that we’re working on — something really dynamic, more than just a shopping app. It’s a full experience and hopefully becomes a tool for your life if you’re into the way we live our lives at Patagonia. To me, that was a huge pivot — because two years ago, if I would have said app or loyalty program, I got side-eyed, like please go away. Now it’s: how do we fund this? And I think that pivot came from leadership seeing what’s going on around them, and also from me repositioning my message to them on what it really unlocks. It’s one thing to say here’s the tool, here’s the thing I need to do. But leadership really needs to understand what the unlock is for the brand. When you fine-tune that message more and more, you see the light bulb go off: oh, okay, yeah — I was about to invest $3 million on this thing, but I actually need to pull that over here because that’s going to be the bigger win for the brand long-term. Those are some of the tougher conversations, but huge learnings for anyone trying to figure out how to navigate. Because investment is real. Most people have limited resources. A lot of these tools are expensive. You don’t want to bring in a tool, find that it doesn’t work, and have your reputation on the line for that. It’s a challenging environment to navigate.

Liam: Is reputation a big thing holding businesses back? Leaders? The machete still hasn’t been cut in many ways. How at a leadership level are you encouraging people to embrace it, pitch ideas, share ideas rather than fearing it?

Angela: That’s an amazing question. I think it really comes down to behavior. If people see that someone tested the jacket finder tool and no one got penalized for it not succeeding the way it was supposed to — and we can still talk about it at our year-end recap as a win in terms of what we learned — then the next time something comes around, people will be a little more fearless about going after it. Organizations really should build a culture where people feel safe to test things and learn things. I say to my boss all the time: I’m just going to throw stuff at you, you can tell me I’m crazy. But I’m always thinking outside my desk. That’s just who I am as a person. And I need to be in an environment that welcomes and celebrates that. And when you go back to the younger talent — that’s what they want. You bring in that young talent for new ideas, fresh energy, and you should cultivate and celebrate that. Something I implemented that’s super easy is in our monthly team meetings we had a 5- to 10-minute kudos section where people just gave a shout-out to someone they worked with. It was really interesting. As a leader, especially early on with a large team where I didn’t know every single person personally, to hear the same name brought up between eight or nine different team members — I had no idea. So they’re one of those silent, deadly forces within the team. I would have never known that had we not had those moments of letting people shine and really talk about it. Those are the types of things that get people to say: oh okay, cool — maybe I can try that thing.

Liam: It’s so easy to get trapped in the BAU — just the business as usual, day in, day out. You can’t say at a leadership level that we’re going to hire all these young people and they’re going to bring energy, and then consistently drop them down and not empower them.

Angela: Yeah, that’s tragedy.

Liam: What do you think is the number one thing as a brand to get right over the next 12 to 24 months? Acknowledging the fact that it’s way harder to stand out in today’s world. AI is very prevalent. Teams are getting smaller yet faster. It’s a lot easier to build things like apps and do analysis with AI. Everyone is becoming a developer with Claude Code. There’s huge investment into things like brand versus just throwing all your money at Meta. What do you think is going to be the number one thing to win?

Angela: I think when you talk about all those things swirling about — and I even go back to our personal lives, you kind of have all these things happening all at once — having a structured system to operate within all that and have clarity about what your goals and objectives are. I want anyone on my team, no matter what their role is, if someone could stop them in the hallway and ask: what is Patagonia doing on their dot-com site? They should be able to answer that question. I don’t care if they’re a contractor who’s been here two months or someone who’s been in their job for 15 years. We all should have a piece of ownership of that and be able to answer it. And when you talk about all these things shifting and moving, there should just be: this is how we’re going to operationalize these things. Spend the time and energy on that. You hear people say digital transformation has been the thing we’ve been talking about for the past eight years. It often fails because you’ve built the thing, but no one’s changed how they work now that you’ve built this new system. So you need to spend the same amount of time thinking about how are we going to work differently. Let’s bring together a practice that we all agree on as the best way to move forward. Because you can just keep bringing in new tools — we’re now using this tool, we’re shifting from Figma to this thing — but if people haven’t adopted it and they don’t understand why we’ve invested in it to help move the brand forward, it’s going to be a tough road or it’s going to fail.

Liam: So a bit more of an outcome focus. This is where we’re going as a brand. These are our revenue goals, our brand goals. Versus just worrying about the tools we’re using.

Angela: Yeah, the tools help enhance that, but you can get really lost trying to capture and test and learn things if you don’t know where you’re going. It’s like: okay, we’re going to have a goal around improving the chatbot on our website, and then we’re going to implement this tool. Rather than: oh my God, this tool is amazing, let’s just implement all of it. It has to be grounded in your purpose. Why are we not doing the chatbot right now? Because we care a lot about the customer experience, we’re a high touch brand generally — can this thing meet our standard? And if it can’t meet that standard, how do we engineer it so it can? I’m always challenging people. Sales people come to me with technology and I’m like: cool, can you help us grow retention without giving someone a promo? Can you help us do that? And sometimes I break people because I’m like, it’s going to be different — but that’s the fun part about Patagonia. It’s really important that you’re thinking about what it is you’re actually trying to achieve. I know it sounds so remedial, so simple, but I see people just get caught up in the thing and then go, go, go — and then they get lost. And then you find yourself fighting against other teams or fighting against leadership, when you need everyone swimming in the same direction. Running a digital business, you learn that cross-functional partnership is super critical. Those relationships within the organization are super critical. The membership program, the web app idea — it took getting multiple teams rowing in the same direction to get that project off the ground. Otherwise, it’s just a cute idea on a page.

Liam: Angela, I think so many people look up to you across your career — Elf Beauty, Levi’s, Patagonia. Maybe this part of your career will actually see the biggest change. I think AI hasn’t seen a movement like this in so long. I’m excited to see what you and your team achieve over the next couple of years. Thank you so much for coming on.

Angela: Thank you.
