“Whatever Dude!” is a great film. That’s not what makes it a great campaign.

"Whatever Dude!" is a genuinely fun film featuring two good friends doing something extraordinary in the mountains. This project started as a vehicle to launch Aggy's new Dakine Signature Series. The riding is extraordinary, but that's not the most interesting thing about this campaign. What Dakine did with the opportunity is a playbook worth studying.

Point of View

The best campaigns in this industry don't just sell product.

They remind people why they go outside in the first place, and they do it in a way that feels completely true to the community. I've spent my career trying to help brands build that kind of connection, and it never gets old when a campaign gets it exactly right. That's what I'm looking for when I write about campaigns here.
