Case study — Outdoor Retail

Basecamp Gear: the build that paid for itself.

Basecamp Gear came to us as outdoor retail operators in Boulder, USA with a problem that was costing them weekly. The program below is what moved their headline number: +36% mobile checkout completion.

The challenge

The brand had grown every year except visually: five years of ad-hoc assets, three generations of 'temporary' logos in circulation, and a website no one could connect to the product's actual quality.

Sales was narrating value slide by slide because the public face wasn't doing it — a tax on every deal the team closed.

The approach

We ran identity as strategy-first: positioning workshops, audience language mapping, competitive teardown — the mark arrived only after the argument for it existed on paper.

The system shipped as usable infrastructure: tokens, type scales, layout logic, imagery rules and a component library stress-tested with their worst real content, not our best mock content.

Everything handed over with a Figma library the internal team could extend without us: named, documented and versioned like the codebase it generates.

  • Positioning and messaging workshop with documented outcomes
  • Tokenised Figma library mapped to front-end code
  • Accessibility pass to WCAG 2.2 AA across all core flows
  • Rollout kit: email, documents, social and pitch-deck templates
