Black Yak Campaign

A full-CGI journey through a thoroughly inclement landscape – to meet the Black Yak.

MONOMANGO

BLACK YAK, the technical clothing brand with rock-solid Himalayan credentials, approached us in 2017 for the second time and asked us to create the 2018 Black Yak campaign film.

Aesthetics

 

We chose to highlight the brand’s core attributes as personified by the Himalayan Black Yak – a hardy and resilient creature that is perfectly at home in one of the world’s most inhospitable environments. The Black Yak strongly embodies the characteristics of endurance, strength, reliability and perseverance.

MONOMANGO

Our approach was to bring to life a Black Yak and set him in a dark and raw habitat –  all created in full-CGI.

Music production

 

We composed a dramatic soundtrack, which featured a clash of dark synthesizer atmospheres full of tension, screaming guitars and energetic basslines.

The image film provided the key visual for the new advertising campaign and we adapted it for the most diverse media: everything from the new look book, to 20m giant posters, to POS tools and online advertising.
