Badass beyond our norm, please
Buff challenged Vehicle (and themselves) to push their brand look-and-feel to the edge with more youthful irreverence and passion. We were lucky enough to be able to draw inspiration from the exciting riding style of Buff pro snowboarder Victor de Le Rue for the "Ride Un-hinged" global campaign.

Un-hinged is unleashed
We created the digital, print, and video elements used for email, social, editorial, advertising, and their Outdoor Retailer trade show booth. We were happy to hear our client say: "This is the strongest brand execution and experience that I have been a part of at BUFF!"
