The Gore–Tex "Know What's Inside" Experience

The Situation: Gore-Tex needed to educate consumers on how Gore–Tex and Windstopper products work. And make them believe it's critical to demand it in their apparel.

The Solution: We designed a tour that showcased the science behind each product and proved the difference, and took it to key retailers and outdoor lifestyle events. A custom-made vehicle housed interactive elements including a unique "Rain Room" experience. The Rain Room proved a powerful media magnet, with local meteorologists jumping at the chance to be right for once.

The Results:

  • Overall attendance of more than 750,000.
  • Event and retail impressions were nearly 300,000.
  • Over 35,000 personal interactions.

What we learned from this experience: Once you've experienced a cold rain, you know there's no price tag on comfort.
