Challenge

Challenge

Columbia Sportswear operates through retail outlets and online marketplaces such as Amazon and Lazada in Singapore and Malaysia.

Being a globally renowned brand and having been around for years, their primary mode of advertising and engaging with their audience was through traditional channels.

Due to this, they ended up sitting on the sidelines of social media for way too long. They realized that in order to grow their community and truly engage with their customers, they needed to build a stronger presence on social media.

That’s when Brew Interactive was approached.
