The Campaign

In commemoration of the 50th year since the foundation, the consumers visit the special pop-up stores and they tried wearing the McMURDO products get around to receiving the proposal. “You can purchase the product which you are wearing now free-of-charge.” At the moment of answering ‘Yes’, the blue sky and the zipline that goes down 120 meters from a dizzy height are unveiled. The shopping situation is extreme, so much so that the product can be received free-of-charge at the counter installed 120 meters below. The moments of the adventures overflowing with the thrills, new exploration begins!

Creative Execution

The campaign launched October 14th and carried on until December 23rd. Because McMURDO is a seasonal product of Fall/Winter, we incorporated brand experience that will challenge the consumer to go on an exploration in such season. In commemoration of the 50th year since the foundation, we created a unique pop-up store in Lotte Premium Outlet, Paju, where consumers can come and truly experience the brand. When the consumers tried wearing the McMURDO products at this store, they got a unique proposal. “You can purchase the product which you are wearing now free-of-charge.” At the moment of answering ‘Yes’, the blue sky and the zipline that goes down 120 meters from a dizzy height is unveiled. The one who can successfully come down the zipline would receive a special prize, The North Face McMURDO.

Our campaign is relevant for Promo and Activation because it allows the consumers to tangibly experience The North Face's core value exploration by challenging them to go down the zipline were just beside of the pop-up store to challenge and receive McMURDO new jacket.

The North Face Korea, the No. 1 outdoor brand in Korea which greets its 50th year anniversary of foundation, publicly announced its ‘50 years of exploration’ anniversary campaign with McMURDO, that represents the company’s heritage product. In order to unfold a very special opportunity with the concept of exploration in mind, the campaign was meticulously planned with client’s core brand values from the initial stages of the project.
