ABOUT US

we live what we do

We’re roadies, mountain bikers, and gravel riders. We’re backcountry, fresh pow, and groomed corduroy skiers. We fly fish, we climb, we backpack, and we travel the world. We’re also entrepreneurs, academics, c-suite executives, creatives, strategists, marketers, and e-comm experts who’ve built businesses and made livings by blending our passion for the outdoors with commercial success.

shiny, happy people

We’ve built and we continue to build brands that make happier, healthier, more active people. We believe brand authenticity and expertise create trust, and that trust creates loyalty. And loyalty drives a defensible competitive strategy.

OUR VALUES

  • Knowledge is power, and we work with our clients to share our hard-earned experience to avoid pitfalls and mistakes we’ve probably made. Expect us to ask good questions in an effort to better understand how to craft a unique solution for your business needs and goals, not stamp out a cookie cutter approach. Because creating unique value is at the root of any sustainable competitive strategy.

  • We are passionate about brands that move people, and we live and love what we do personally, and professionally. We demonstrate our authenticity by sharing our passion, experience, and knowledge, and believe that work and play can go hand-in-hand. We exercise radical candor and functional empathy to provide actionable, constructive feedback to develop people, build culture and execute solutions more quickly.

  • We believe trust is the bedrock of any relationship’s success. Trust is not easily earned, and can be easily lost. With that in mind, our decisions are made and our actions are taken based on what's best for our customers and partners alike. We work to do the right thing at every opportunity. Trust creates efficiency, efficiency creates loyalty, loyalty drives a defensible commercial strategy.

  • Every suggestion and action we undertake with our clients must answer one question in the affirmative: Does it create value? In everything we do, we look to create commercial value, which more often than not, is predicated upon customer value. Value can be additive, or it can be subtractive, and often times it takes an experienced and outside perspective to realize the nuanced difference.
