The Washington Post is one of the US’ oldest and largest daily newspapers. Headquartered in Washington, DC, hundreds of thousands of Americans count on the post each day for reliable reporting that sheds an unbiased light on what’s happening in the world.
In a time where public opinion of the media is more divided than ever, the Washington Post’s supporters wanted to do more to get behind the paper they depend on; a way they could share their support. Maybe even weartheir support.
After a spike in reader demand, the Washington Post decided to start selling t-shirts as a way for their subscribers to support and promote their favorite publication. Knowing this was no small task, they started looking for a partner who would provide retail-quality shirts and the smoothest experience possible.
