• Demonstrate the lifestyle around the
product rather than just the product
itself
• Humanizes the product
• Boots become part of life’s
aspirations and goals—”I wanna live
the HELM Life too!”
• Establishes authenticity
• Going Forward: Instagram shots to
emphasize people, action and/or the
“HELM Life”
CCoollllaabboorraattiioonn
&& PPaarrttnneerrsshhiippss
There’s strength in numbers…
• Cultivating partnerships like the
one HELM has with Revival Cycles
provides:
o Access to new customers
o Content opportunities
o Opportunities to further establish
the idea of “HELM Life”
IIddeeaass ffoorr GGeettttiinngg tthhee MMoosstt
OOuutt ooff PPaarrttnneerrsshhiippss
• With Revival Cycles: Co-host an “art show” that
showcases the aesthetics of classic motorcycles
and their accoutrements (i.e. HELM Boots)
• With Like-Minded Clothing Designers: Have
noted designers curate looks and outfits
demonstrate the versatility of HELM Boots
• With Creatives: Work with artists and creators to
develop truly multi-media projects that
epitomize the HELM Life
EEffffeeccttiivveellyy

HELM already creates
great content—from
pictures to videos and
more. But together,
tell different stories
about HELM’s
identity…
IIss HHEELLMM……
..for outdoor
trekking?
..for hip urbanites?
..the classic
American boot
brand?
TTeelllliinngg aa
SSiimmppllee SSttoorryy
Other brands have a lock on
the “outdoorsy thing” (e.g.
Schnee’s, Western Rise, Danner,
etc.) as well as the “classic
American” thing (e.g. Red
Wing, Frye’s, etc.).
The question that needs to be
addressed is, “What’s the sole
of HELM?”
HHEELLMM IISS……
…Euro-Asian style
with American class.
…the only thing that
both Mods and
Rockers agree on.
…made for
tramping the
pavement.
