Real gear, real pros, a man in a suit.

The creative hub for Luke and Matt: who the posts are for, the three formats, the idea bank, how the feed is doing, and the motion pieces every edit can reuse.

Who it's for

Pros first, their clients second

Main audience

Outdoor professionals

Instructors, athletes, mountain guides and others who work outdoors, across every sport GearBook's partners cover.

Second audience

Their clients and followers

People who buy through a member's page. Posts aimed only at them have done worst so far, so use them sparingly.

Every sport, rotated: Climbing · Ski and snow · Mountain · Water: diving, freediving, spearfishing, sailing.

Three house formats

Lead with the bit or the footage

Put the pitch last. The generic shopper pitch and the seasonal tip did worst so far.

A

Presenter bit

Luke in a suit, tie and handheld mic plays a deadpan presenter somewhere absurd for a suit: a desk on a cliff, rappelling, sitting in a creek, buried in ropes. Short script to camera, about 25 to 30 s.

B

Vibe reel

No voice. Good footage, one line of meme text, a trending sound added in the app.

C

Editorial poster

A still: a duotone or moody photo with text in the brand serif.
