Overview

Since 2021, we’ve partnered with this outdoor apparel and lifestyle brand on a long-term retainer to support their ongoing marketing and content needs.

The objective of the partnership has been simple: remove the burden of content creation entirely, allowing the brand’s internal team to focus on publishing and growth rather than production logistics.

The Challenge

Like many growing consumer brands, the client faced a familiar problem:

  • They knew consistent content was essential

  • Social platforms demanded regular, high-quality posting

  • Producing content internally required significant time, coordination, and expertise

The challenge wasn’t understanding what needed to be done, it was finding a reliable way to do it consistently without pulling focus away from other areas of the business.


The Approach

Production focused on capturing authentic lifestyle moments that reflected the brand’s values and messaging.

Content regularly featured models and talent wearing the client’s apparel in active, real-world scenarios such as:

  • Boating

  • Hiking

  • Surfing

  • Coastal and regional outdoor environments

Rather than staged studio shoots, we prioritized environments and scenarios that reinforced the brand’s mantra of living and loving the outdoors.


Post-Production & Delivery

Each month, we delivered a curated library of:

  • Professionally edited still images

  • Short-form video assets optimized for social and paid use

Assets were delivered ready for immediate publishing across:

  • Instagram

  • YouTube

  • Meta ad platforms

  • The brand’s website

This streamlined delivery process allowed the client to maintain a consistent online presence without having to think about content production at all.

The Result

The ongoing retainer has resulted in:

  • A large, valuable library of evergreen content

  • Consistent, high-quality social and advertising assets

  • Increased credibility through authentic lifestyle storytelling

By removing content production as a recurring pain point, the partnership has allowed the brand to focus on growth while maintaining a strong and cohesive visual identity across platforms.


Why It Worked

This model has been successful because it treats content as infrastructure, not a creative afterthought.

By combining:

  • Long-term planning

  • Monthly production and delivery

  • Talent sourcing and logistics management

  • Real-world lifestyle storytelling

We created a system that consistently delivers value without requiring constant oversight from the client.

This approach has proven to be scalable, efficient, and highly adaptable to other brands and industries.
