Our Lasso brand and product line have become the primary focus of our company for the next several years. We are focused on creating injury prevention technologies and marketing them to our customers in a culturally relevant way.
Our primary goals are to become a thought leader in the injury prevention and rehabilitation space, and to market our products in a way that pushes culture forward (think hip-hop, hypebeast, basketball, and fitness culture).

- How would you measure impact?
Suggested Deliverable:

It’s okay to be completely out of the box as well.
