Projects

CamelBak / FreeHub Collab

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qn9WvPVuyI

This was the last big project I set up before leaving @CamelBak. The concept was simply to create a female led adventure that put this particular pack into a true big mountain setting, with a full list of content deliverables of course. I absolutely can't say enough good things about the team that Freehub Media put together to execute this and for Micayla Gatto in taking the challenge and running with it. Such a pleasure to see this brought to life in such a stunning way. For the full story you'd need to go buy the magazine... #mountainbike #digitalmarketing #sportsmarketing
