In an era in which many brands have hopped on the overly-chatty and relatable brand voice bandwagon, Moosejaw stands out — both as an early innovator of the style and an authentic voice in an echo chamber of copycats. Part of that is because the Moosejaw brand voice, according to Comerford, is the actual voice of the company's founder, Robert Wolfe.
Since Wolfe and his friend David Jaffe launched the first Moosejaw store aimed at outfitting outdoorsy tourists in suburban Detroit in 1992, a lot about the company has changed: one store became 12, the internet happened and Moosejaw became an early e-commerce powerhouse, the company was purchased by a private equity firm in 2013, and then in 2017 it was acquired by Walmart. But through it all, the Moosejaw identity has remained much the same.
