The image shows two men standing closely together, one shirtless and the other wearing a black tank top with the word "NASTYPIG" written in a vibrant, stylized graffiti font. Both men have confident, inviting smiles and appear relaxed and friendly. The shirtless man is wearing a chain around his neck and the man in the tank top displays visible tattoos on his arms and chest. The background includes lush green plants, suggesting a tropical or relaxed environment. The overall tone of the image is casual, with a focus on camaraderie and bold fashion.
The image features four confident men posing together in front of a vibrant pink and orange gradient background. They are wearing attire associated with pride celebrations, including black tanks and caps with rainbow logos, as well as various styles of colorful briefs and swimwear. One man is shirtless, showcasing his muscular physique. They all have distinctive and expressive faces, suggesting a joyful and celebratory mood. Their attire, along with the rainbow motifs, indicates that this could be an image from a Pride event or related to LGBTQIA+ community representation.

About

Nasty Pig

Established in 1994, Nasty Pig has cemented its status in the heart of New York City as a trailblazing Gay apparel brand, renowned for its daring underwear and jockstraps. Transitioning from a brick-and-mortar model to a 100% online direct-to-consumer (D2C) business, Nasty Pig has cultivated a loyal fanbase, maintaining consistent sales through retail partners both domestically and internationally.

Our Objective

Our goal was to ignite Nasty Pig's sales growth by enhancing brand visibility, expanding their email list, revamping their website, developing a robust content strategy, and refining their product strategy.
