The North Face<\/a> has appointed SAMY to lead its influencer management strategy and execution as the outdoor brand increases its investment in creator-led marketing and culturally relevant storytelling.<\/span><\/p>

The remit builds on a partnership that saw SAMY refresh The North Face\u2019s social media strategy in December 2024. As The North Face\u2019s social agency of record, SAMY\u2019s expanded remit now includes leading the brand\u2019s European influencer strategy and execution, uniting social and influencer activity under one agency partner, with a focus on the UK, Germany, France and Italy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As The North Face continues to invest in social and digital channels, creator partnerships are playing an increasingly important role in how the brand brings its \u2018Never Stop Exploring\u2019 story to life across different markets. SAMY will help the brand build more authentic relationships with audiences through athletes, creators and everyday adventurers, while ensuring campaigns remain locally relevant and globally consistent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

SAMY will combine its global network with proprietary AI-powered technology to identify the right creator partnerships for each market. Using its Maia platform<\/a> and Global Discovery Network, the agency will draw on millions of creator profiles, audience signals and performance data to match talent with campaigns, alongside human editorial judgement to ensure every partnership aligns with The North Face\u2019s brand and values.<\/span><\/p>

As well as creator identification and management, SAMY will provide local cultural intelligence to inform campaign planning, content development and talent activation. The agency will also develop governance frameworks and measurement models needed to evaluate performance consistently across markets, using Maia to track results on an ongoing monthly basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

<\/b><\/b><\/b><\/b><\/b>Paul Hickey, managing director at SAMY UK<\/strong>, <\/b>said: <\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019ve worked with The North Face for nearly a decade, and this appointment extends our partnership into influencer strategy and execution.<\/em><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>

\u201cAs the brand\u2019s social agency of record, we already understand its audience, values and ambitions, and this appointment reflects both the strength of the relationship we\u2019ve built and The North Face\u2019s confidence in our integrated approach to social and influencer marketing.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

\u201cBeing appointed to lead The North Face\u2019s influencer management strategy across Europe reflects the strength of the relationship we\u2019ve already built with the brand and the confidence they\u2019ve placed in our approach.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>

\u201cWe know that the best influencer programmes don\u2019t simply identify creators with reach or engagement; they identify people with genuine credibility in the communities that matter most to a brand. For a business like The North Face, that means balancing global consistency with local cultural understanding across a series of audiences that live and breathe the brand in different ways.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

\u201cOur role is to bring that local expertise into European markets, helping The North Face build meaningful, long-term creator relationships that feel authentic because they\u2019re rooted in the communities they\u2019re designed to reach.\u201d<\/span><\/em>
<\/span>
<\/strong>Stephanie Zogg, senior manager, brand communications EMEA at The North Face<\/strong>, acrescentou: <\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe North Face has always told its story through the people who live it.<\/em><\/span> As creator partnerships become an increasingly important part of how we engage our communities, we wanted a partner that combines strategic thinking with the local insight needed to make those relationships meaningful.<\/span><\/em><\/p>

\u201cSAMY gives us the intelligence, technology and market expertise to build creator partnerships that are relevant to local audiences while staying true to our global brand.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>
