Dress for Success Worldwide, the nonprofit leader in advancing women in the workplace globally, has announced the launch of a global brand refresh and campaign titled 'Success Starts Now.' This marks a significant evolution of the brand's identity, purpose, and support programs to better align with the rapidly changing needs and gaps facing women across the world's workforce.
For nearly three decades, Dress for Success Worldwide has empowered more than 1.3 million women to achieve economic mobility through a global network of support, workplace attire, and development skills. The organization operates through 130 network members across 15 countries.
The refreshed identity includes a vibrant new logo, a modernized visual design system, and a renewed purpose and narrative across its global network, accompanied by the updated tagline 'Igniting Careers. Transforming Futures.'
