    The Columbia brand has been working to bring the new strategic vision to life internally over the last few months, culminating in a company-wide preview of what's to come at the Newmark theatre in Portland, Oregon this month.

    Joe Boyle, Executive Vice President, Columbia Brand President, said: "We've built an extraordinary outdoor brand that set the standard for excellence worldwide. The past year we've been retooling and reshaping our business to scale new heights. In the year ahead, you'll see the Columbia brand roll out a product strategy that is deeply intertwined with marketing allowing us to reach consumers in new, surprising ways to reintroduce our iconic brand."

    To lead the creative direction forward, the Columbia brand appointed adam&eveDDB as its global agency of record following a competitive pitch against several undisclosed global agencies. The global account will be led by adam&eveDDB London in close partnership with its New York and San Francisco offices.

    "As we look to grow our brand we wanted to build a relationship with an agency that can help tell our unique story in a way that connects emotionally with global audiences, while helping consumers understand the innovation that has powered our products from the beginning," said Boyle. "There's never been a better time for people to enjoy all the outdoors has to offer and we want to unlock that for more people around the world and inspire them through a strong story-telling approach and creative strategy with adam&eveDDB."

    Miranda Hipwell, CEO of adam&eveDDB, added: "The story of Columbia is so rich and full of personality this was a partnership we felt excited about from the moment Joe's letter inviting us to pitch landed on our desks. We've enjoyed every minute of the journey until now and can't wait to tell more people, all over the world, about the unique marriage of irreverence, imagination and innovation embedded in the brand's DNA. In a world full of purpose led ambitions, Columbia is a rare example of the real deal – we couldn't be happier to be kicking off this creative, collaborative partnership."

    To lead its new marketing direction, the Company hired Matthew J. Sutton to serve as Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing for the Columbia brand in September 2024. Sutton brings deep experience in brand and digital marketing, recently leading retail and direct-to-consumer brands including The Black Tux and FreshDirect as Chief Marketing Officer, and previously global marketing for Facebook.

    "Matt will help lead the strategic integration of our entire global marketing, including developing omni-channel marketing strategies and upleveling our capabilities," Boyle said. "His arrival brings significant momentum as we unlock our brand's opportunity."
