CNN Socks

CNN, the Cable News Network, is a multinational news-based pay television channel headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1980 by American media proprietor Ted Turner, it was the first television channel to provide 24-hour news coverage and the first all-news television channel in the United States. When CNN sought to enhance their brand visibility and employee engagement, they turned to custom apparel as a solution. The network wanted something that would resonate with their global team of journalists, producers, and staff, while also embodying their commitment to delivering breaking news around the clock. Custom socks emerged as the perfect choice, featuring the iconic CNN logo and a subtle world map design, symbolizing their international reach. These socks quickly became a hit among employees and even gained popularity with viewers who spotted them on-air, leading to their inclusion in CNN's official merchandise line. The socks serve as a daily reminder of the network's mission to keep the world informed, while also fostering a sense of unity among the CNN family worldwide.
