KAMP partnered with Oakley on an innovative and boundary-pushing new brand direction: Future Genesis. In the first tease of this long-term, ongoing narrative, we see how the past inspires the future with the reappearance of Max Fearlight. As a foundational character from Oakley's origins, we used Max as the starting point of a new, cinematic universe that is expanding into the next generation with the introduction of Max’s daughter, Maxine.

In collaboration with the Oakley brand, KAMP is developing the story of Future Genesis in real-time, with ambitions stretching years into the future. This massive undertaking includes naming, story development, scripting, character design, poster creation, and production oversight for a narrative that will soon be expanding into multiple chapters of films, comic books, and consumer activations.

Max’s character design represents Oakley’s distinguished history, wearing muted and industrial tones along with a version of the iconic Medusa helmet. He is a living archive of Oakley’s innovation, acting as the foundation to a future built upon the past.

As a new hero in the Oakley universe, Maxine’s design embodies a fusion of past and present with a nod to a more hopeful future. She is drawn to the wonders and unknowns of the outside world with optimism and the pursuit of meaningful connections. This character and her associated qualities serve as a muse for a new direction of the Oakley brand and are reflected in all touchpoints, from product design to brand communications.

To inform internal Oakley teams of this radical new “Future Genesis” direction, we built out a user guide to communicate both the nuanced and sweeping shifts in philosophy suggested by these characters and the narrative. Structured like a technical manual, this guide provides all of the tools and insight necessary for a successful brand-wide implementation of a complex new set of ideas.

Netflix’s “The Harder the Fall” is a Black American Western whose characters are loosely based on real stories of cowboys, lawmen and outlaws of the 19th-century American West. To create excitement for this new title we built an immersive living version of the film’s fictional town of Redwood City, in the heart of NYC’s Meatpacking District. We partnered with real Black cowboys and Black-owned businesses to authenticate the experience, providing moments of education and stoppable era-inspired products in celebration of the Black American West.

A curation of NYC creators extended the show’s narrative with special moments throughout our Redwood City build. Key Moments: Two pop-up marketplace tents with products from Sincerely Tommy and The Brooklyn Circus, C.A. Boseman Train Car Museum with Tintype photobooth, chain stitching customization by We Tight Knit, Cowboy Camp hosted by cowboys PURA and roper Wefts Tyrus, a performance area with stories by Trae Venerable, and on-site beverages by Brooklyn Tea served out of Stagecoach Mary’s Saloon.
