Swany America, the manufacturer of performance ski gloves and winter accessories, announced the appointment of Adam Weitzel to its North American Marketing team as the director of Marketing and Creative.
Weitzel brings nearly a decade of experience in the outdoor industry. He joins Swany with grassroots snow sports knowledge and sophisticated marketing expertise. He began his career as a ski shop employee during college, then moved to Colorado to further his snowsports experience as a buyer and manager. This experience led him to attend film school in Los Angeles, CA, where he focused on content marketing production. Weitzel has since held key in-house marketing positions at Smartwool and Exxel Outdoors while also creating content campaigns in the agency world for a diverse portfolio of brands spanning outdoor gear, luxury hospitality and performance products.
Weitzel’s career bridges the retail floor and the creative studio, bringing both insights to lead Swany’s marketing team.
“I’m thrilled to join Swany at this pivotal moment. From my early days on ski shop floors to developing content across diverse industries, I’ve always been drawn to brands that solve real problems with thoughtful design,” said Weitzel. “Swany’s four decades of glove-making mastery stand out as a rare combination of genuine expertise and relentless innovation. There’s incredible energy around our product evolution and the opportunity to connect with snow sports enthusiasts in fresh ways. I’m excited to help shape what comes next.”
“Adding Adam’s experience, skill set and authentic passion for snow sports to the Swany team is a massive step for our brand,” said Swany America’s VP of Sales, Todd Givnish. “Rooted in the highest quality performance snow sports gloves, the next chapter at Swany includes refreshing our product line up and connecting deeper with our consumers. Adam brings the creativity and experience to fuel these goals.”
Swany America, founded in 1980, is a dedicated glove manufacturer that leverages its strengths in producing ski gloves under the Swany brand.
