The campaign also highlights a range of the company’s brands including Jamis Bicycles and Beghaus.

“We’re delighted to unveil our new TV advert and multi-channel campaign, which proves that there’s no place like the outdoors,” JD Outdoor group marketing director Carly Czuba said.

“We’ve had a really successful year and found that the song ‘Greatest Day’ in particular evoked a lot of positive emotions across our audience group.”

Czuba added: “Moving forward, we want to build on this and remind everyone of how the essence of being outdoors feels. Discover Freedom is a perfect expression of this, not just for us, but for the whole nation.

“Whether it’s a hike up a mountain or stroll around the block, spending time outdoors is a great escape from the current stresses of life. Go Outdoors has everything customers need to enjoy these activities and keep the outdoors accessible.”

Simply Be

Earlier this week, inclusive fashion brand Simply Be launched its bold campaign with the tagline ‘No More Bad Fit’.

The campaign focuses on challenging the fashion industry and calling an end to bad fit.

The move comes as, according to a recent survey by the fashion retailer, 99% of women said they feel frustrated with “inconsistent sizing in the fashion industry”.

Some 92% also agreed that badly fitting fashion can hinder personal style.

“On behalf of women everywhere, we’re calling for an end to bad fit. It’s time every woman felt empowered and confident through great fitting fashion,” Simply Be FIT expert Carole Wilson said.

“FIT’S OUR THING. It’s why we exist. We fit and develop our fashion on real bodies, and we’re damn proud of it. We are totally upfront with our sizing, and we know what works for different shapes.”
