After a century spent outside, there’s one thing L.L.Bean can guarantee: You see something new every time you step outdoors. From large to small, it doesn’t matter if 1,000,000 people have been there before you, finding spectacle in nature is a discovery. This campaign celebrates that notion with the iconic use of the planting of a flag. Our customers share their “discoveries”— stories of what they’ve found in the outdoors, and they inspire others to join them. From the closeness of a backyard to the summit of a mountain, it’s all there waiting. And it will be as amazing for you as it was for the first explorers who set eyes upon it. Said simply, if you think there’s nothing left to explore, just get outside and find something new to discover. Media components include heavy online as well as in theatre.
