Northwind — Built for the wild
A rugged yet refined rebrand and site for a heritage outdoor gear maker entering a new generation.
Northwind has outfitted explorers for over a century. The rebrand had to respect that legacy while speaking to a new generation of adventurers.
The challenge
Modernise without erasing. The equity was in the history; the opportunity was in the future.
Our approach
We distilled 112 years into a confident, durable identity — and a site engineered for the trail and the checkout alike.
Outcome
Revenue up nearly half, returns down a quarter, and a brand ready for its next century.
The impact
