NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Graj + Gustavsen is reimagining and re-positioning CAPEZIO for a new generation of consumers and is pursuing brand-right and market-right pathways to extend the 130-year-old dance brand into new products, experiences, and audiences in line with market and consumer trends of fitness, self-expression and demand for authenticity.
The new positioning was created to inspire and empower everyone to dance, perform, and express themselves — beyond the stage into a world of dance infused and inspired products, experiences and inspiration for everyone who loves to move.
"CAPEZIO's legacy as a dance brand is incredibly inspiring as we think about market trends of fitness, movement, creativity, and changing needs for dressing for everyday functionality, comfort, and style." says Scott Todd.
"We're thrilled to be working with G+G to update our positioning and extend our brand into new categories and audiences." says CAPEZIO EVP/Board of Directors Anthony Giacoio.
The new CAPEZIO positioning will be introduced to the market in the fall of 2020.
