Catch! Enjoy Air Down

The North Face wanted to highlight the unique experience of the ‘lightness’ of Enjoy Air Down that sets it apart from other brands by casting a spotlight on the jacket’s features in a fun and unusual way. The campaign focused on ‘AIR’ among the numerous other elements that are associated with ‘lightness’ and presented ‘Downs that are lifted by air’ to convey this concept in a dramatic fashion. To do this, Innored created a unique hands-on experience for consumers to try “Enjoy Air Down” at The North Face in Seoul. Visitors to the specially-constructed store were led out into a large outdoor exploration zone with ten large openings in the floor that resembled the iconic arcade game Whac-A-Mole. When store patrons agreed to “Enjoy Air Down with Your Exploration”, an Air Down jacket suddenly popped up from one of the holes and hovered in mid-air. People were given 60 seconds to try to grab the jacket before it dropped back in the hole. If they missed, then another popped up, suspended in mid-air, from one of the ten holes. And so on and so on, with users frantically trying to grab the jacket before it disappeared back down the hole. The result is a fun-filled 60-seconds of people running, jumping, and rolling around trying to catch the down jacket as it floated in the air. With this unique consumer experience, The North Face was able to convey both ‘the joy of exploring’ and the ‘lightness’ of the product in a fun and very entertaining way.
