The North Face X Strava

A festival for the adventurous.

The adventure economy is growing at a rapidly, with millennials investing more of their time and money on hiking, trail running and climbing than ever before. We were asked by The North Face to develop a festival concept that would appeal to these adventurous explorers and put them in the most natural environment possible.

We worked with The North Face on the experiential strategy including creative, promotion and digital planning to drive ticket sales.

We found the perfect location for the first two festivals, a valley in Switzerland based at the foot of the iconic Eiger. Famed for its outstanding natural beauty, earning it UNESCO protection, Lauterbrunnen proved the perfect venue for the 3 day celebration of the outdoors.

The Mountain Festival has now run for three years in two different valleys and hosted over 5,000 guests from over 26 different countries.

The ‘basecamp’ was created using a series of wooden geodesic domes which housed reception areas, dining spaces and stage space for music, inspirational talks and workshops. Playful art installations and campfires were dotted around the festival to encourage people to enjoy the outdoors.
