MeUndies wants your underwear to be bold, just like its new brand ambassador

It’s been five years since MeUndies first decided to start selling unmentionables on the internet — and today the company is getting mentioned more than ever before. Proving that online shopping isn’t just for household appliances or shoes or cat food, MeUndies is taking ecommerce where it’s never been before — your derriere.

The idea behind MeUndies was simple. Buying underwear was surprisingly difficult given how basic of a necessity these undergarments are. As Jonathon Shokrian told Forbes last year, “Before launching MeUndies, I was working in commercial real estate and traveling a lot. I didn’t have enough underwear for a trip I was going on so I went to the department store to pick up a few pairs, but the whole shopping experience was uncomfortable and inconvenient.”

After realizing he was buying underwear that was simultaneously expensive and uncomfortable, Shokrian decided to do something about it. And MeUndies was born.

And now, MeUndies has enlisted the help of Eddie Huang — restauranteur, chef, food personality, and author of “Fresh off the Boat” — to help spread its message. On March 22, MeUndies is launching a brand new Pandamonium collaboration with Huang that seeks to celebrate self-identity.

“Eddie couldn’t align better with MeUndies’ brand values,” the company (whose core values include being bold, making mistakes, and resisting conformity) told Digital Trends. “With this collaboration, MeUndies is hoping to echo Eddie’s stance on self-acceptance and embracing the difference in others.”

As MeUndies grows (it’s on track to sell an impressive five million units this year), it will look more to brand ambassadors who embody the company spirit of comfort, not only with your underwear, but with yourself, too. And while Huang may not seem like a natural choice as an underwear model, it’s exactly this element of surprise and subversion that MeUndies wants to capitalize on. “[Eddie] is always looking to shake things up, change people’s perceptions, and maybe make a few people laugh along the way,” MeUndies noted. And yes, your underwear should do that, too.

You can order MeUndies one at a time, in convenience packs, or even subscribe to the service. So stop going to the store for your underwear. Just take to your computer instead.

Mobile-first: Empower virtual workers with Verizon Mobile for Microsoft Teams

In today’s fast-paced business environment, being able to communicate quickly and reliably with coworkers, customers, partners and others is essential. But for many organizations, their workforces are increasingly distributed, hybrid and mobile, and their collaboration experience is fragmented with many, disparate solutions, devices and tools that often don’t work well together. That’s why many companies are turning to collaborative apps like Microsoft Teams to help workers more effectively connect and collaborate no matter where they are.

Microsoft Teams is a comprehensive collaboration work experience that includes meetings, internal calling, chat and more. While Teams has become synonymous with modern work, out of the box it doesn’t offer the ability to make and receive calls outside the organization. Since many employees work remotely, in the field or on the go and need to retain access to enterprise-grade functionality, having a fully-featured unified communication solution from a mobile device is vital. That's where Verizon Mobile for Microsoft Teams comes into play.

Many businesses have learned in recent times that being able to hire remotely is a huge benefit.

Here's an overview of how to hire remote workers and what's involved.
