As people flock to the outdoors, many brands are welcoming and embracing these individuals with open arms. Brands that were once reserved for core users are breaking down their walls to be seen as a more inclusive brand.
In this episode, Andy Bethune, the Director of Strategy at Origin Outside discusses this trend and the implications. As he says, if you try to become something to everyone, you'll be nothing to anyone. But where is the balance? Obviously, we want people to get outside and feel included.
We discuss how far a brand can dilute itself before it becomes ambiguous, why some brands thrive in ambiguity, and factors to consider when a brand is facing outside pressure to grow.

In 2020, Port Side Productions launched this podcast to address a challenge we were facing ourselves: understanding how to make video content that was not only creative but truly effective.
What started as a search for answers has taken us on a journey through nearly 200 episodes, exploring every facet of the outdoor marketing world. Along the way, we didn’t realize that this podcast was helping shape our own approach to creating video work that actually delivers the results our clients need.
Now, our goal is to take you behind-the-scenes with experts from the outdoor industry as they share the secrets to producing creative work that delivers. If you’re seeking insights from some of the sharpest minds in the business, you’ve come to the right place. And if you're ready to take things further and need a guide to help you create effective video work, don’t hesitate to reach out and say hello.
