Odlo unveils new brand claim “There’s more out there” with landmark media campaign
Campaign seeks to spark a reawakening in athletes everywhere as part of refreshed brand strategy
(January 22nd, Hünenberg, CH) – Odlo, the Swiss-based performance apparel brand, is thrilled to reveal its new brand strategy, set to launch with the company’s biggest-ever media campaign this Thursday.
The new strategy, developed with London-based creative agency, AKQA, aims to inspire outdoor enthusiasts to seek physical and mental fulfilment in the outdoors through their own reawakening. Led by the claim “There’s more out there,” Odlo’s new brand direction encourages athletes to tap into what the outdoor world awakens in them and, as a result, experience moments that keep them coming back for more.
The brand believes that each person’s more is unique, and to find it, the key is to get out there: to discover new locations, push physical limits and embark on mental journeys inspired by the outdoors.
Introducing the reawakened athlete
“Our new muse, whom we’ve dubbed ‘the reawakened athlete,’ is a concept that really transcends across all ages,” said Odlo CEO Daniel Eppler. “It defines anyone who has a fresh perspective on what the outdoors means to them. Someone who goes out into nature to train, get reenergised and clear his or her mind.”
“Through our new brand direction, Odlo’s aim is to heighten the outdoor experience by inspiring a reawakening in every athlete,” added Eppler.
Biathlete legend Martin Fourcade fronts new campaign
The brand’s new direction will be launched with a media campaign featuring former biathlete and Odlo’s global brand ambassador Martin Fourcade.
As an elite athlete, Fourcade saw the great outdoors as a place for training and competition, but now he enjoys it for what it is: a place of immense joy and fulfilment. The creative follows Fourcade as he pursues the sports he loves whilst enjoying moments that reward him for venturing out into the wild.
“I’m not in a race anymore,” Fourcade says in his voiceover. “Not against time, myself or anyone else. I’m out for something different."

Odlo’s new era of brand building continues at pace
Odlo, the Swiss-based performance apparel brand, has long been respected within the outdoor industry. Founded in 1946 in Norway by Odd Roar Lofterød Sr, the brand first made its mark by developing an elastic, heat-regulating suit that revolutionised cross-country skiing. Odlo then became the apparel brand of choice for twenty-five national teams at the 1964 Innsbruck Winter Olympics – including the entire Norwegian national team – who went on to win a raft of medals. Further groundbreaking innovations followed with the introduction of the first fully synthetic sweat-wicking base layer, the launch of the pioneering three-layer principle, and expansion into performance apparel for outdoor pursuits beyond Nordic sports.
