686 signs with ShowLabs seeking next-level efficiency for their visual content process
686 frees up internal teams by outsourcing visual content responsibilities to ShowLabs and its visual commerce solutions.
About 686
686 outerwear was founded in 1992 by Mike West and is one of the oldest independent companies in the snowboard specific outerwear and technical apparel industry. Known for producing innovative and quality products, West uses his love for music, fashion and art to inspire such a unique line.
The 686 name comes from an important date in the life of Mikes grandmother (June 6th, 1986). The sum of the numbers also add up to the age of when he started the company (6+8+6=20). Exclusive co-branded limited products and trademarked innovations is what makes up the 686 name.
ShowLabs, a revolutionary visual commerce solution specializing in providing brands with the ability to produce next-level visual content, is excited to announce its newest client acquisition with 686 outerwear. Having made the big decision to transition their ecommerce content production away from internal teams, 686 partnered with ShowLabs in large part based on their reputation for driving next-level efficiency into every aspect of content production. Direct integration into Elastic Suite and ShowLabs’ ability to provide multiple variants to use in both wholesale and consumer channels were also deciding factors. ShowLabs will be focused on producing all on-model and still images for 686’s seasonal lines.
