A commercial doesn't need to feel like a commercial. Jeremy Renner opens this video with the line: "I have no business doing a running commercial." What follows is a refreshingly un-commercial "commercial." I prefer to reference it as a well-told story. It's a tale of recovery, resilience and, yes, running. But it certainly doesn't feel like a commercial. And that's the point. I also dig the broader campaign line: Let's Run There. You can already sense exactly where this campaign is heading and the possibilities are, with intention, fairly limitless. Well done, Brooks Running. #marketing #brandmarketing #marketingcommunications #sportsmarketing

Picture those two stubborn handles sticking up on the pommel horse.   Move the wrong way around them, and you’re cruising for a bruising. But for olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik, these obstacles are the tools that enable spectacular performances. You may have seen the viral image of Stephen appearing fast asleep right before his first performance. But he wasn’t napping; he was mentally mapping out his routine. When it was his time to shine, he ditched the glasses and jacket in Clark-Kent-to-Superman fashion, then executed a near-perfect 40-second routine, securing a bronze medal for Team USA. A few days later, he nabbed a second medal in the individual pommel horse event. #BusinessLeaders can take a page from this playbook. In the world of #entrepreneurship, obstacles are inevitable. But with the right mindset, preparation, and performance, how you navigate those obstacles can be what propels you to success. Nedoroscik’s journey is filled with moments of turning challenges into stepping stones. He specialized in pommel horse after dropping other events, and even with a broken hand, he clinched a gold medal at the World Championships. His ability to focus and adapt—like solving a Rubik’s Cube in 8.6 seconds or mastering the world’s hardest sudoku puzzle—showcases resilience and innovative spirit. When you’re faced with obstacles -- whether it’s a market setback, an operational hiccup, a thorny contract or a challenging negotiation -- think of them as your pommel horse handles. Embrace them, learn from them, and let them elevate your performance!

This week, we officially launched Fit Liberty: a free exchange service that removes the expectation of size fluctuation from the shopping experience. Fit Liberty was an idea that my dear friend and co-founder Alex had since we came together to start this brand eight years ago. A simple idea, really, that was strangely revolutionary. Alex wanted to provide our customers with pieces that they could buy for the size they were at that very moment, without any worries... we would replace their purchase with a new size if theirs were to change within one year. In Alex's words, "You shouldn't make an emotional payment when you buy clothes." I think of this often and believe that clothes should GIVE you a joyous emotion—a eureka moment, a content feeling that you've made the right choice. That's what Fit Liberty does. "We believe your clothes should always fit, feel, and look good. And, women deserve to live their lives without feeling bullied by their size." - Alex Waldman I've wanted to formally launch Fit Liberty for so many reasons. For our community, of course, but also for my late friend Alex whose legacy I cherish and want to weave into every single thing we do at Universal Standard. The brand was her deepest passion. Fit Liberty is the true embodiment of our combined dedication to making the fashion industry a more inclusive place.
