About Highlander Outdoor
Highlander Outdoor specialise in outdoor gear and equipment designed for camping, hiking, and adventure. Established in Scotland in 1985, the brand focuses on providing affordable, durable, and reliable products that cater to outdoor enthusiasts, from beginners to experienced adventurers.
Their range includes tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, and accessories, appealing to those seeking functional, high-quality gear for outdoor pursuits.
After 42 years focusing only on B2B via resellers, they brought us on to help establish and scale their D2C offering. We have worked across 3 brands in their portfolio (Highlander Outdoor, Highlander Forces and Stoirm). The media budget in year 2 increased by 94%, owing to the results achieved in year 1.
