Sameunderneath has evolved from an educational concept, to shirts soldout of a backpack then concerts, to a successful, socially responsible high-end clothing company. These shifts have all centered on Sameunderneath’sfounder, Ryan Christensen and his hands-on passion for change. Ryan hasbeen the heart of Sameunderneath from its inception and he has instilled itwith the values that hold up the brand today and the philosophy that is behindthe message of the brand.
Sameunderneath is more than a clothing company. Instead of being denedby the products it sells, Sameunderneath is dened by its philosophy and
those who support it. Sameunderneath is about taking a stand for what youbelieve in and making informed choices. It’s about people who look beyondtheir differences and instead see ways to bring people together. It’s aboutbelieving that small choices and ideas can help change the world.Ryan has developed Sameunderneath and has essentially been the face ofthe brand up until this point. The Sameunderneath brand is expanding at arate that Ryan cannot support himself. This is why Sameunderneath needsa new approach that will develop the brand nationally while maintaining thecharacteristics that make it unique. Sameunderneath needs a presence thatwill reach Enlightened Rebels in ways that overlap in their day to day lives.With a new brand strategy, Sameunderneath will attract people on a nationallevel and give those people a platform from which to speak.
