Requirements
What: UGC Campaign in Support of our Retail Partner, Academy Sports.
When: Dec 16, 2023
Deliverables: Two (2) Short-Form Videos + Four (4) Still Photos if you double as photographer.
Duration: 15-30 seconds each
✅ Objective
To work with you all to create high quality, authentic UGC in support of one of our key partners, Academy Sports.
It’s important to make it clear your content is to support The North Face products and encourage consumers to visit Academy and academy.com. When creating your content, please consider the retailer's perspective and think about strategies that would effectively drive customers to their physical location or web-store, in addition to promoting the brand itself.
🗒️ Context
How the content could be used: We hope to promote the content via paid media to drive sales of our products currently sold by Academy Sports (see: academy.com)
Important points: We’re actively working with the Academy team to make this content shine. It’s important to us that you mention Academy and The North Face brands by name in the video, and provide personal/creative touches.
Going forward: We hope to consistently work with Popfly and this Creator community to source great, engaging content for our many retail partners and beyond. We also hope to find a few creators with large followings to work with through channel posts. Both UGC and channel points would be via an ongoing basis.

EVERGREEN message: Similar to above, but don’t mention holidays. ie - grab some of The North Face gear and Academy today.

Inspiration
- Voiceover: Narrate over product action shots, perfect for showcasing it in use like at outside together or going on a solo and/or with friend/family hike.
- Text Over: Clips of the product with on-screen text highlights. Ideal for snappy insights and vibes.
- Inspirational: Captivating product footage that evokes daydreamy feels, making viewers want to dive right in.
WHAT WORKS BEST:
- Mix in personal passions into your content.
- Share extra clips! Phone clips, camera shots, BTS, and even bloopers.
- For vids over 20 seconds, make sure TNF logo on the gear shows up in within the first 5 seconds.
- Lighting—make sure you get the best lighting possible. Early morning or late afternoon are great.
- We’ll add captions on our end, so don’t include.
- Van life, camping, hiking, exploring, travel etc all great!
- Music: If you use music, please send one version without any music and never use anything under copyright.
⛔ WHAT TO AVOID:
- Avoid shooting content in indoors or in urban areas.
- Bright or contrasting patterns, large and competing logos of other companies in shot.
- Strong or inappropriate language.
- Fishing/hunting scenes

Authenticity - hopefully all these details guide you, but don’t put you in a box! It’s UGC for a reason, show us YOU.
We celebrate wonder. Challenges. Stoke. Hard days and good times together.
