Decathlon, the French sports equipment retailer was founded in 1976 and has since then never ceased in its mission to democratize sport by making it cheap, easy and accessible for everyone. The brand puts pride in its staff being passionate and skilled to give the best possible advice.
The new print campaign with the tagline “We Make Sport Easier” was created by BETC Paris for the summer season. Geof Kern, awarded American photographer who is well known for his story-telling driven creative photography, shot the campaign in South Africa.
The prints show people hiking and surfing, niftily given a hand by Decathlon staff.
The campaign is out in France this week.
