Campaigns & Content (Giveaways/Campaigns, Content Partnerships)

Use socks as the centerpiece for a bigger message—promotions, launches, challenges, or community moments that drive engagement. Pair that with content support like photo/video assets, storytelling features, interviews, or spotlights that capture the “why” behind the collab and help it travel further than the product alone.

Experiences & Community Programs (Events/Activations, Organization Programs)

Bring the collaboration to life through pop-ups, activations, and organization-based programs. Whether it’s a school, team, nonprofit, or workplace initiative, we can help create a wearable experience—fundraisers, member drops, event merch, or community programs that build connection and leave people with something they’ll actually wear.

Product Collaborations (Custom Sock Drops, Brand/Creator Collabs)

Co-create socks that carry your story—limited-edition drops, partner capsules, or creator-led releases designed around your brand, mission, or moment. We can support the full build: concept, design direction, proofing, production planning, and go-live strategy so the final product feels intentional and unmistakably “you.”

What We Need From You

Your Goal

Tell us what success looks like—sales, awareness, fundraising, engagement, employee appreciation, community impact, or a specific outcome. The goal helps us recommend the right collab format and rollout.

Your Audience

Who is this for, and how will they get it—public drop, members-only, internal team, event attendees, donors, students, or customers? Share size of the audience and any key preferences.

Timeline

Include your ideal launch date, any hard deadlines (events, campaigns, school dates), and milestone needs (design approval date, shipping/pickup window). This helps us map a realistic plan.

Budget Range

A starting range helps us scope the best approach—product type, complexity, quantity, packaging, and any add-ons like content or activation support.

Creative Direction

Share logos, brand colors, themes, inspiration links, and any “must-have” details. If you don’t have assets yet, a vibe and a few references are enough to start.

Collab Type

Choose your lane: product drop, brand/creator collab, campaign/giveaway, event/activation, organization program, or content partnership. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend the best fit based on your goal.
