THE LOGOS

THE MOCKUP

THE CHALLENGE Unchained, a financial services company for bitcoin holders, faces the constant challenge of fulfilling size request for their swag for monthly meetups in Austin and Houston. They needed effective swag that they could stop over ordering on.

THE SOLUTION Swag that could serve as conversation starters at events while being an effective use of budget was why they went with socks. Our socks are one-size-fits-most, so they were able to build relationships without ending up with overruns and wasted money spent.

THE RESULT “Our socks are always appreciated by attendees, and will often start some valuable conversations for our business development or hiring efforts... The socks are often a conversation starter and anyone wearing Unchained socks will typically be a big advocate of ours!"
