Built on Friendship & The Outdoors
Pohle Creative embodies the perfect synergy between wanderlust and reliability. Built on twenty years of friendship and a passion for the outdoors, we’re not your typical backpackers with a camera. It all began with a road trip planned to pitch outdoor-oriented companies that shared similar values, interests and the spirit for adventure.
Though each brand’s products and mission were unique, we found creative approaches to each project that aligned our vision with our partners. We brought brands such as Vistabule — a luxury teardrop trailer company — to the Bonneville Salt Flats, and performance sunglasses manufacturer Vallon to the summit of Mt. Rainier. This experience fast-tracked us to partnering with companies from around the world. Suddenly we were working with brands in Switzerland, Shenzhen and our own backyard, the Twin Cities.
When our road trip came to a close, we realized that the adventure didn’t have to end. Instead of returning to our 9 to 5 jobs, we decided to launch a business dedicated to doing what we love: building brands and creating content outside of the office.
