Media Edge: Superfeet rebrands as it celebrates its 40th anniversary

Media Sales Lead: Superfeet Worldwide is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a rebrand. This includes new packaging and new names for its products. In the past, Superfeet used colors to name its product. Now, it will use more descriptive names such as All-Purpose Support High Arch Insoles, Run Support Low Arch Insoles, and Winter Support Insoles. It hopes this will allow retail employees to recommend the right products more easily. 

Key Lead Takeaways: Superfeet has already started ramping up ad spend this year, which I expect to continue as it promotes the rebrand. Start reaching out now to offer ad space.
