Eddie bauer: Why I Hike

The “Why I Hike” campaign aimed to build connection with customers through the resurgent popularity of hiking and its varied roles in people’s lives, positioning Eddie Bauer as a hiking outfitter of choice. The brand was ready for a new direction and disruptive look. 

​

My approach used inclusive illustration as a key visual speaking to everyone’s unique interpretations of the benefits of hiking, messaged across stores, direct, and e-commerce. Additionally, a broad social campaign asked brand guides, influencers and customers to share their responses with #whyihike.

​

The results? Brand awareness, customer file growth, Instagram engagement up 450% YOY, and product sales +80% to LY. But the real breakthrough was in the creative: leading with a fresh, disruptive direction worked and opened new doors for
the brand going forward.
