Sustainable Performance Lifestyle Brand Focused on US Market Growth and Awareness

SAUSALITO, Calif. (October 21, 2021) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – OutsidePR, a leading consumer public relations agency with a boutique focus on the outdoor lifestyle, today announced it has been selected as the Agency of Record for Vancouver, BC-based performance denim and apparel brand DUER.

The agency will support DUER’s public relations and communications strategy in the United States targeting consumer lifestyle, outdoor, and fashion media with a focus on the brand’s approach to performance apparel that combines natural materials with performance features and fibers for clothing that intersects fashion and function.

“There’s a heightened demand from the market for comfortable, style-relevant clothing that also has the strength to perform,” said DUER co-founder Gary Lenett. “With expansion plans into the U.S. already underway, we knew finding the right partner to help share our story was the next decision. Given their breadth of experience representing brands in the lifestyle and adventure apparel space, we’re confident OutsidePR will support the growth we expect to see this year.”

Since its inception in 2013, DUER has experienced substantial growth through its network of wholesale partners across 27 countries, within Canada with dedicated storefronts and a growing ecommerce channel, and most recently in the U.S. market with new storefronts in Denver, CO and Los Angeles, CA. Alongside store openings in key U.S. metropolitan areas, the brand will expand its DUER Women’s offering, drive sustainability efforts related to natural and sustainable alternatives to synthetic fibers, and continue fabric development.

“We are delighted to support the incredibly talented team at DUER as the brand’s public relations agency of record”, OutsidePR President Jess Fiaschetti said. “DUER is a brand with huge potential within the active and performance lifestyle apparel space, andOutsidePR is uniquely positioned to aid in their growth through targeted brand awareness campaigns, relationship building with key members of the media, and thoughtful story-telling initiatives.”
