As Global Content Manager for the pioneers of waterproof outdoor accessories, the mission was clear: grow the brand's reach by showcasing the effectiveness of the product in enabling people to enjoy the outdoors, whatever the weather.
This involved some deep work to bring the brand's content offering up to speed - strategising, capturing user feedback and stories, then proclaiming the Sealskinz values and product virtues in an enaging way, to build the tribe and increase market share.
Much of my activity centred around social media strategy and content. This content was distributed globally across all touchpoints.
This focussed on growing the following and engagement levels across Sealskinz social channels, by conducting deep-dives into consumer interests, and from this base developing engaging story-based content. This was often in partnership with key outdoor influencers.
Aside from studio product captures for product listings, I self-shot or directed shoots for a whole range of in-the-wild images, to breathe more life into Sealskinz product showcasing.
