To mark 25 years of The North Face Summit Series, HY.AM partnered with Burro Studio to bring the milestone to life in Berlin. The flagship store was transformed into a week-long hub of curated experiences—balancing global brand standards with local relevance and cultural credibility.

Curated Local Outdoor Voices

We selected and invited Berlin-based outdoor voices, creators, and athletes to anchor the experience in the city’s running culture—building authenticity, relevance, and immediate community credibility.

Seven Days of Live Brand Experiences

HY.AM shaped and delivered a full week of cultural programming at the Berlin flagship. From speaker curation and masterclass design to on-site production, we brought expert-led sessions, altitude simulations, and a film night with mountaineer David Göttler to life.

Brand, Fully Embedded

Every touchpoint—from invitations to in-store moments—carried the Summit Series’ elevated, technical aesthetic, translated through Berlin’s outdoor-meets-urban energy to create a cohesive brand experience.

The activation brought Berlin’s outdoor and performance community together, generating strong social engagement and positive local media coverage. It reinforced The North Face’s cultural relevance in the city and positioned the Summit Series as both technically elite and culturally resonant—bridging high-performance innovation with community-driven storytelling.
