Banzai Collection heritage skateboarding brand campaign — California petrolhead community

Banzai

Social Media Strategy & Content Production — ongoing retainer

2025 — present

About

Banzai is the heritage skateboarding brand born in California, 1976, evolved into one of the most distinctive petrolhead communities in the world. Skateboarding, racing in crazy cars, surfing, and a deep respect for craft — these are the values that hold the brand together. Aluminium boards, V12 engines, salt water, and resin dust.

BANZAI is where California heritage meets the open road — classic cars, heritage skateboards, surf culture, and the people who keep it all rolling.

The brief

Reach Banzai's core community — the petrolheads, collectors, and free spirits who respect authenticity above everything. Amplify a voice that is unmistakably Banzai, deepen the connection with the people who already get it, and bring in the ones who've been looking for exactly this.

Banzai Originals

Banzai Originals — the Archive of the Real. Short portraits of people who found their own way through craft — woodworking, skateboarding, surfboard shaping, or something else entirely. It isn't about the medium. It's about what drives someone to become a more authentic version of themselves.
