Pride is just 2 days away and we're honored to, once again, support the amazing work of Out & Equal! 🏳️🌈💖🏳️⚧️

The Rise Brands team banded together to prepare hundreds of Personal Pride Packs for Stonewall Columbus in a celebration of community and allyship just before Pride Month. These hygiene kits will go to LGBTQ+ community members to help combat basic health and wellness insecurity, and provide aid to folks in need. We are so proud to be partnering with Stonewall on this important initiative, and it was an honor to visit their BEAUTIFUL headquarters in the Short North yesterday. Happy <early> Pride, y’all! 

On Monday, we celebrated all the ass-kickin’ we did last year and all the ass-kickin’ we’re gonna do this year at the 2024 Rise Brands Annual Gathering. Team members from our home office, distribution center and stores around the country convened in Columbus to level up their business knowledge and get off email to talk IRL. (And party! 🤘) This year’s Pitch Fest was 🤌, but we can’t tell you the winning pitches just yet because you may see them out in the world one day. (There’s a hint in this album, though. 🤫) THANK YOU to each and every player on the Rise Brands team for the hard work you put in year-round to keep us moving at warp speed. 2024 is gonna RULE and it’s all because of YOU.

PIZZA POWER!

LESS SCROLLIN’, MORE ROLLIN’! 🎳 That’s the vibe behind Pins Mechanical Co.'s new, immersive brand awareness campaign that asks the question, “What the hell happened to good, old-fashioned, IRL facetime?”, and positions Pins as the choice social destination where people can exchange news feeds for fun.
