Yarrow Kraner has a successful history in branding, helping launch, guiding and growing organizations with a focus on being globally-conscious, catalyzing alignment with mission, awareness, and profitability.

Yarrow is principal in CHISEL industries, a creative firm, idea incubator and production company with a successful history in branding, guiding and growing organizations with a focus on globally-conscious brands. After graduating of Montana State University Film School, Yarrow moved to Los Angeles to direct commercials and music videos. Yarrow’s creative ideas and work have been recognized internationally, and he has directed projects for Atlantic Records, Warner Brothers, Levi’s, DIRECTV, KEEN Footwear, Columbia Records, CBS News, Kirin Beer, Moonlight Basin’s Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, Providence Health & Services, Universal Athletic, 1st Interstate Bank, several Universities and non-profits, and more.

In 1999 Yarrow founded what WIRED Magazine referred to as “one of the pioneer social networking communities,” www.Superdudes.net. Through strategic alliances, and innovative grass-roots marketing, they grew the company virally to over 1.5 million subscribers worldwide, becoming one of the hottest destination sites for youth 12-24 at that time. The foundation, www.Supernation.org worked with national charities, children’s hospitals, and teamed up with Shaquille O’Neal for an inner-city stay-in-school program to empower youth to help achieve their potential. In 2004 Fox Studios bundled and purchased My Space, Superdudes, and Grab.com for $650 Million.

After eight years in Los Angeles, and the sale of Superdudes Yarrow returned to Montana, and founded two companies: CHISEL INDUSTRIES and HATCH.

HATCH is a Non-Profit that Inspires Innovation Through Mentorship. HATCH is a global thought-leader network that propels careers in film, music, design, photography, technology, and numerous experience-driven arts. HATCHfest.org has been visited by over 150 countries, and some of the HATCH panels have been downloaded over 1 million times.

Yarrow also sits on the board of UNweb.org, a global initiative with United Nations Delegates to level the playing field for global economies from major Fortune 500 companies to small microloans for entrepreneurs.

Yarrow splits time between Los Angeles, and his home-base in Montana.
