DOMETIC SPRING 2026 CAMPAIGN

RECON Series Launch

Production Proposal – Vision Creative Co

Campaign Overview

Dometic is launching new spring camping gear with a focus on elevated outdoor lifestyle.

Hero product:

Dometic Recon Hardside Large 69L

A rugged, refined cooler built for modern adventure — designed to perform in the wild while looking at home in premium outdoor environments.

This campaign will showcase the Recon 69L as a central part of an aspirational but believable Mammoth Lakes camping experience.

Target Budget: $65,000
Production Length: 2 Shoot Days
Location: Mammoth Lakes

CREATIVE CONCEPT

“Basecamp Elevated”

A tight-knit group of friends escape to Mammoth for a spring reset.

The story unfolds across two days:

  • Arrival & setup

  • Day adventure (hiking, lake, trail exploring)

  • Golden hour downtime

  • Night camp moments

  • Morning coffee & reset

The Recon 69L is integrated naturally throughout — never feeling like a product demo, but clearly positioned as essential gear.

The tone is:

  • Premium but authentic

  • Adventurous but relaxed

  • Cinematic but grounded

Think: modern outdoor lifestyle brand meets cinematic travel film.
