Story

Outerknown, founded by Kelly Slater, is a brand that puts sustainability at the forefront of its operations. The company’s core mission is to create clothing that exists in harmony with the environment. This means utilizing recycled materials and partnering with suppliers who prioritize sustainable manufacturing, all with the goal of becoming a fully circular clothing brand by 2030.

The Challenge

Balancing the pursuit of sustainability goals with driving revenue and expanding Outerknown’s geographical footprint presented a complex challenge. For several years, Avenue Z has been Outerknown’s partner in this journey. During this time, Avenue Z facilitated design and development of Outerknown’s B2B portal, launched two stores in Boston and New York, and streamlined countless business processes, including wholesale and digital marketing.
