Beyond the Textbook

Brief A 360° campaign for Back to School & Travel that drives brand awareness to the college-age audience. The campaign ends in a 3-stop college campus tour — "Dakine Days".

Intent Develop a cohesive visual identity that speaks to the active scholar, stays true to brand heritage, and captures a new audience.

Insight This wasn't just about selling products — it was a larger push to reposition Dakine as the go-to school backpack trusted to travel beyond campus.

Outcome Life beyond the textbook. From campus hallways to cactus-lined horizons, this campaign is about more than hitting the books — it's about carving your own path. Gear that moves with you, built for back-to-school and the adventure after.
