STANCE

Stance saw a category that had been ignored, taken for granted, looked over, and dismissed. By breathing life into something that had been overlooked, Stance ignited a movement of art and self-expression that has drawn athletes, cultural influencers, and true originals to the brand. By underpinning it’s creative roots with a relentless focus on technical product innovation, Ryan Kingman (Remains co-founder), as a co-founder and CMO of the Stance brand, established the origins of what is known as the “Punk & Poet” ambassador program. His ability to visualize untapped opportunities and bring to life creative, marketing and partnership ideas has been game-changing for top athletes, brands, consumers and retailers. By taking an uncommon approach, Stance was able to connect in new and unique ways in sports, youth culture and entertainment.
