Korero is the marketing and design partner of the Verbier Ride. Last year, following the development of freeride and freestyle skiing competitions throughout the alpine world, Warren decided that the values of the Verbier Ride needed to be communicated to a wider audience. We created a new logo and brand identity, built the website, designed posters, flyers, banners, a ski show stand, sponsors and media packs, stickers and merchandise and created a competition called "What's the Jump?".

The Verbier Ride is one of the original and true free skiing competitions on the world circuit. Started 5 years ago now, it was created to provide a meeting place - of minds and bodies - and as a social event and friendly competition for young European free skiers and Verbier locals. In four short years the Verbier Ride has become one of Europe's premier freeride and new school alpine events, attracting the best athletes from all over the world. The combination of the world's best ski terrain and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere makes this event incredibly popular with competing skiers and spectators alike.

The Verbier Ride is all about respect. Respect for the mountains, respect for the amazing athletes and friends that you'll meet there and respect for the spirit of free-skiing. The logo and communications designed for the event reflect the ideals of freeriding: not conforming to the norm, exploring the limits of the mountain and of yourself, choosing your own line, skiing fluidly, skiing fast and respecting the contours of the mountain.

We hope that you can make it to the Verbier Ride this winter and spread the love.

Korero is a dynamic and accomplished design and advertising agency, with experience and excellence in through-the-line marketing and communications. We specialise in outdoor and wintersports advertising and design.

We don't specialise in just one media because we believe it's the big ideas that count - ideas that move people, give brands personality and make advertising work. We work with the communication tools that are right for our client, their product or brand and the market - not the ones that are most profitable for our agency. And we know how to blend all these elements into a cost-effective program that delivers results.

We're pretty new, we're small, but we're beautifully formed. This is great for all our clients, because we're working doubly hard to build our credibility and reputation. Not that we wouldn't anyway.

We offer personal service, great creative, and reasonable prices. So you'll get big agency work with small agency service and prices. And we know and love skiing, boarding, mountain biking and almost any other sport you can think of.

We love sport and we live for sports. We love advertising and we're serious about great design. Who else would you choose to care for the communications of your brand? If your core values match ours, give us a call or drop an email to us and we'll get together and change the world.
