Ock Pop Tok

Video, Photo & Marketing | Sept-Dec 2018

Ock Pop Tok is a woman-owned textile social enterprise based in Luang Prabang, Laos. Their goals are to elevate the profile of Lao textiles and artisans, increase economic opportunities for artisans, and facilitate creative and educational collaboration in Laos and worldwide. I did a work trade with Ock Pop Tok in Laos for three months because I was inspired by their mission and wanted to offer my filmmaking and marketing skillsets to support their work. While working for them I created short web videos including one about their origin story, photography, graphic design, copywriting and editing, monthly newsletter and social media marketing.

Ever wonder how a textile social enterprise comes to be? Learn how Ock Pop Tok went from a small shop selling just a few products in 2000 to becoming one of the most important textile and artisanal institutions in South East Asia dedicated to maintaining fair trade principles 18 years later.
