The challenge
The marine apparel market is crowded with performance claims.
With Gill, their products are designed, manufactured and tested to withstand the elements, activity, and the test of time.
The challenge was turning that credibility into a campaign people could see, understand and trust.
The idea
We created Beyond Tested - a proof platform designed to bring Gill's proposition to life through visible evidence, not claims.
Every product, test and ambassador moment became proof of performance.
This wasn't about creating a slogan. It was about showing how trust is earned through data, design and time at sea.
The execution
We developed a concept that feels technical, inspiring and unmistakably marine. One that can continue evolving as a key part of the Gill brand.
We centred around a hero brand film showcasing how products are designed, manufactured and tested to stand the test of time - both in the lab and at sea.
Supporting content included:
Testing explainer films diving deeper into Gill's rigorous testing processes.
Ambassador content capturing products in real-world conditions across multiple sailing disciplines.
Social, email and web assets designed to extend the story across the full customer journey.
By connecting controlled lab testing with real experiences at sea, we transformed technical proof into engaging content.
Nzime x Gill x NTU
We had the pleasure of extending our project crew to work with the Design & Digital Arts team at NTU - and the learning went both ways!
Staff and Students collaborated with us to capture the Lab footage in their Virtual Production Studio with their cutting-edge equipment, providing a real business brief for students to add to their studies.
The outcome
A scalable campaign platform that differentiates Gill from competitors and reinforces their position as a leader in performance marine apparel.
Built around one simple principle:
Trust isn't claimed.
It's proven.
