As an underdog competing against consumer audio giants, Skullcandy has worked to transform the company back to its roots in music and board sports while aggressively expanding its product portfolio and attacking new markets. Through a strategic and data-driven approach, Skullcandy reset the brand’s foundation and identity, reinforced its earbuds and headphones portfolios, entered the True Wireless category, expanded global distribution and built a highly successful Direct to Consumer business, all illustrating the company’s selection as one of 2020 US Best Managed Companies. In 2019 Skullcandy was also named as one of Outside Magazine’s “Best Places to Work.”
