S&S, a tech-forward leader in branded merchandise distribution, has launched the broader rollout of its new brand identity, transitioning from S&S Activewear to S&S, with an updated logo and the tagline "Take Your Vision Further."

The company first unveiled the new brand at its Growth Summit in June. The rollout now extends across S&S's website, social media platforms, marketing communications, facilities, and customer-facing materials. A brand campaign featuring customers across the United States is running through February 2027.

What the rebrand represents

The shift from S&S Activewear to S&S reflects an evolution in the company's scope and customer relationships. Core strengths, including broad product assortment, best-in-class apparel inventory availability, and the industry's highest order accuracy rate, remain central to the business. The new name is designed to better represent the expanded ways in which the company supports customers.

"The new brand isn't about becoming a different company. It's about better reflecting the company we've already become," said Frank Myers, Chief Executive Officer of S&S. "Our customers are ambitious about where they want to take their businesses, and our job is to help them get there."

• Michelle Diaz, Co-Owner of Natural Tease Sportswear, who cited S&S's broad product assortment and technology capabilities as enabling her to serve customers ranging from resorts to construction workers to landscapers, and to pursue larger accounts.
• Blake Burroughs, Founder and Chief Sales Officer at Topshelf Printers in Greeley, Colorado, who described S&S as a partner present in every growth opportunity.
• Steve Lipic, President and Co-Owner of Lipic's Engagement, who credited S&S with evolving alongside industry changes and supporting his business through numerous opportunities.
