Listen Later

The Brief is back! Today on The Rock Fight Colin and Producer Dave break down Mammut’s Mountain Wear Rescue campaign.

They’re joined by Mammut’s Chief Marketing Officer Nic Brandenberger, who shares the inside story of how the campaign came together, from the insight that “8 out of 10 jackets never see a mountain” to the decision to embrace humor.

Episode Topics:

  • How Mammut’s team turned an internal truth into creative gold
  • The challenges and wins behind Mountain Wear Rescue
  • Why humor in outdoor marketing is so hard to pull off
  • Working with Katie Burrell and casting for comedy
  • The evolution of Mammut’s brand voice and personality
  • Outdoor industry tropes that need to die
  • The Rock Fight’s final score: originality, brand fit, messaging, visuals & strategic cleverness

Spoiler: Mammut scores high and gives zero f*cks.
