ETHOS

AVID is a sporting lifestyle brand that transcends the boundaries.

AVID is an unwavering passion for life outside—driven by movement, curiosity, and respect for the wild. Rooted in fishing and extending into every outdoor pursuit, AVID represents a way of living shaped by action, presence, and connection to the environments we move through.

“AVID” describes our unwavering passion for the outdoors. We fish, hunt, dive, paddle, explore... and live outside. We are AVID men and women with a passion for adventure and the outdoors and a desire to share it with others. The outdoors isn’t a destination we escape to; it’s where life happens. The moments before and after the action matter just as much as the action itself. That’s where experience is earned.

True to the lifestyle we represent. We live the sporting lifestyle everyday. We are the consumers which we design and develop products for. When we’re not outdoors, we’re dreaming of our next time out there.

We see the market from a different perspective. Rejecting the norms and asking “why not?”. Pushing the limits every day to transcend the boundaries of traditional sporting apparel. We aim to set the path others seek to follow.

Timeless. Distinguished. Our design ethos centers around creating products that are classic yet contemporary at the same time. On-trend without chasing them. Good design matters, but great design never goes out of style.

An unwavering desire to succeed and excel in all that we do. In our eyes, there’s always room to push further. No compromises, no B.S., just a constant drive to be better, with our nose to the grindstone.

RELIABILITY

We are honest, hardworking people that can be counted on, and we don’t sell gear that we wouldn’t use ourselves. All of our products are professional quality, made to last and surpass your expectations.

FLEXIBILITY

INCLUSIVITY

We are a dedicated team with the ability to adjust to changing circumstances and take on multiple roles. We believe you shouldn’t be limited by your gear, so our products are made to be flexible and dependable like us.

We’re welcoming and open to those new to the outdoor sporting lifestyle. We have a desire to share our passion and values with others. We hope to outfit all their pursuits. Whether they’re next door or worlds away.

02 POSITIONING

People don’t buy AVID just for what it does — they buy it for what it represents.

PERSONAS

HIGH TIDE MAVERICK

Rooted in tradition. Comfortable in early mornings and late evenings. They grew up around water, woods, or wide-open land. Outdoor pursuits aren’t weekend hobbies — they’re part of their identity.

CORE BELIEF

If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.

EVERYDAY VOYAGER

They respect tradition but don’t live in it. They value function but appreciate design. They fish, hike, and explore, but they also commute, travel, and socialize in the same clothes.

CORE BELIEF

The outdoors isn’t separate from my life. It is my life.

THE NEXT WAVE

Active, curious, and always in motion. They blend fitness, travel, and outdoor life seamlessly and are constantly aspiring to learn more. They don’t separate performance from lifestyle.

CORE BELIEF

It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.

DRIVERS

They value skill, craftsmanship, and doing things the right way. Reliability matters more than flash, and experiences are earned, not performed. They don’t seek attention; they rely on gear that simply works.

LIFESTYLE

They fish before work, plan their year around hunting season, and spend meaningful time at camp or on the water with family. They know their equipment inside and out—and trust it completely.

DRIVERS

They value balance and versatility. Capability matters, but so does refinement. They want gear that performs when needed and fits naturally into the rest of their day. Authenticity is important, but so is adaptability.

LIFESTYLE

They move between environments with ease, from outdoor pursuits on the weekend to work and travel during the week, often without changing wardrobes. They rely on pieces that transition as smoothly as they do.

DRIVERS

They value progress, momentum, and self-improvement. Performance matters, but so does design. Gear should move with them and look intentional wherever the day leads. They are driven by growth and experience, not recognition.

LIFESTYLE

They start and end each day in motion, whether it is a run, a paddle, or a quick session outdoors. Weekends are for exploration, travel, and new pursuits, blending action seamlessly into everyday life.

LIFESTYLE

CONTEXT

Lifestyle imagery should reflect the natural environments and authentic experiences of AVID customers. These include outdoor pursuits such as fishing, golfing, hunting, off-roading, and other outdoor sports. AVID is more than a brand, it’s a lifestyle. In-context photography should capture that identity by illustrating the effortless transition between active outdoor moments and the everyday life of the modern outdoorsman.

DETAILS

Attention to detail is essential. Lifestyle imagery should balance the moment and the product, highlighting craftsmanship and a sense of authenticity. The AVID logo should be present in each shot in a natural, intentional way to ensure the brand remains clearly recognizable.

PRODUCT WEB IMAGES

Web images are places on a clean, white background featuring the product from multiple different angles, highlighting the product’s unique details. Each product should have an image from the front and back and 1-2 close-ups depending on what details need special attention. These details can include prints, graphics, clasps/buttons, etc. The images, included the close-ups should include sufficient white space.

PRODUCT

CONTEXT IMAGES

Context images showcase the product in their natural habitat and should be used in campaigns, advertisements, and catalogs to add visual interest. In each context, product image the design/graphic, as well as the AVID logo should be clearly visible.

FLAT LAYS

Flat lays should be clean, top-down, and thoughtfully arranged to highlight product, detail, and color. Keep styling minimal and grounded in the outdoors, allowing each piece to stand out while showing how it fits into the full look. Flat lay images are used strictly in ads and campaigns, not for web purposes.
