Trango, the manufacturer and international distributor of technical climbing equipment, announced the appointment of Brett Cardamone as brand manager.
Cardamone brings 20 years of experience of creative, brand development and marketing to Trango. Cardamone was executive creative director at Five Ten for 14 years (2004-2018), and helped the brand navigate to, and through, its acquisition by Adidas.
During his tenure at Five Ten, Cardamone oversaw the digital design, creative direction, footwear design and marketing. Cardamone has established himself as a leader in creating compelling global brand stories.
He is a valuable addition to the Trango team. Since his departure from Five Ten, Cardamone has spent the past few years as a brand consultant and footwear designer.
With his extensive history in the climbing community and significant background with creating award-winning climbing products, Cardamone is excited to again be working with an independent athlete-and-product-driven brand.
Trango is also the U.S. distributor for Spanish rock-climbing shoe company Tenaya.
