We speak to Barry Alexander, VP of Brand Marketing at Knixwear, a Canadian underwear brand that is proudly “Redefining Intimates”.
Knix is a brand known for its award-winning dedication to inclusion. We asked Barry what steps a brand has to take to embrace community, diversity, and inclusion into their culture:
” It can’t just be a tagline. It can’t just be a message out there at an opportune time in the calendar and dependent on the conversation. It has to be every day, you really do have to reflect and make sure that it becomes part of your DNA.”
