Colin OBrady

Building a Brand for Limitless Exploration

A Campaign Beyond Limits: Colin O’Brady wasn’t just chasing personal records; he was embarking on a journey that would redefine human potential. As he prepared for the Explorers Grand Slam—climbing the tallest peak on each continent and skiing to both the North and South Poles—he needed more than physical preparation. Colin sought a partner to craft a brand and campaign that would attract global attention, inspire funding, and motivate others to dream big. Watson Creative stepped in to help Colin tell his story and build a legacy.

The Challenges of Scaling a Vision

When Colin approached us, he had a powerful goal but lacked the tools to amplify it to a global audience. Building a brand for such an ambitious project came with unique challenges: creating a cohesive narrative, securing funding, and designing a digital presence capable of engaging supporters and sponsors. Additionally, the campaign needed to resonate with audiences while honoring the magnitude of his physical and mental journey.

From Concept to Impact

Watson Creative worked with Colin to develop “Beyond 7/2,” a campaign that mirrored his audacious vision. Our team crafted a brand identity and fundraising strategy that captured the essence of his story, tying his personal mission to universal themes of perseverance and exploration. A dynamic website became the campaign’s digital home, offering immersive content, updates, and fundraising options.

We also produced a suite of engaging content, including high-quality video storytelling, to emotionally connect with supporters. Each piece was designed to inspire action, from backing the campaign to sharing his story on social media. Finally, we delivered advanced tools and platforms to ensure he could effectively communicate with fans, sponsors, and media during his journey.

Results

Results That Inspire

The Beyond 7/2 campaign became a launchpad for Colin’s career as a global icon. His successful completion of the Explorers Grand Slam drew widespread media coverage, while the brand we built for him paved the way for future speaking engagements, sponsorships, and philanthropic work. Following this success, we worked with Lucy Westlake—the youngest female to complete the Grand Slam—capturing her journey through a stunning shoot in Bend, Oregon.

These projects solidified Watson Creative’s reputation for collaborating with world-class athletes, including Ahman Green and over 50 other extraordinary individuals.
