This is your chance to get the inside track on how you can make your brand unmissable, loved and bought in 2025.
Berghaus didn’t make this ad—culture did.
Here’s why:
The Mera Peak jacket, first launched in 1991 for mountaineers, became iconic in Northern youth culture.
From the football terraces to rave dance floors, it became a symbol of 90s casual culture. So when Berghaus relaunched it this year, they honoured this cultural moment. But the real smart move was giving full creative control to taskmaster Glenn Kitson.
His free creative rein ensured the story was told with authenticity—an approach far beyond typical advertising.
In a world where nature is the antidote, modern life keeps dragging us back into its digital grip. From doom scrolling Instagram, emoting with emojis or watching reality TV.
'Time To Get Out' is a rally call to break free from the digital grip. Putting a spotlight on?those all-too-familiar moments when we know we’ve lost perspective.
Through a series of serene oil landscapes by emerging British artists paired with witty lines about filters and endless meetings, Berghaus delivers a playful yet pointed reminder that:
It’s time to ditch the screens, grab your gear, and get outside.
Engineered in Newcastle in 1986, the Berghaus Ltd Trango jacket defined an era.
Designed?for rugged mountain expeditions, it quickly transcended its outdoor roots, becoming an iconic staple of 90s subcultures.
It’s more than just a jacket; it’s a cultural icon.
Relaunching the Trango?alongside another icon of the 90's?was a supernova move from Berghaus.
Why?
→?Cultural Click bait: With the Oasis reunion buzz, the timing couldn't have been any better.
→?Brand Synergy: Liam’s unmistakable 90s presence creates a powerful bond with the Trango and fans alike.
→?New Audience: The?collaboration and media attention of the Trango brings Berghaus to a whole new generation of fans.
And how do we know it was a success??Well it was parodied by Lidl supermarket too, find out what Berghaus made of this on our FREE Webinar.
