Connected touchpoints spanning planning, exploration, and training.

Audience Expansion

Extended Terrex beyond elite athletes to beginners and casual explorers.

Brand Ecosystem

Positioned Terrex as a digital enabler of outdoor passion, not just an outfitter.

Passion, Preparation & Tech

Reframed exploration for a digital world fusing passion, preparation, and technology into three connected experience platforms. Every touchpoint was designed to drive ROI (Return On Interest) and scalability, fuelling brand engagement whether users were on the couch or a cliff face.

01

Collaborative Trip Planning

An immersive 3D map where users co-plan outdoor adventures in real time, enriched with smart tips, reminders, and route tools. Think: Google Docs meets hiking trails.

02

Geolocated Tip Sharing

AR overlays of user and expert-generated insights, allowing travellers to discover and pin hyperlocal advice like "Best sunrise spot" or "Watch for falling rocks."

03

Train Like a Pro

Smart apparel powered by motion-tracking tech and athlete-guided coaching, giving real-time performance tips directly through your gear.
