About Curtis Litun

I MAKE REALITY FROM PEOPLE'S DREAMS.In the last 7 years I've been a part of 4 different small businesses, moving them from a thought or idea into a living reality. Finding strong team members, creating a clear vision, designing a marketing & sales approach that achieves the desired goals set out are all pieces of the pie. Specializing in the hospitality industry (both cycling & alcohol based niches) a focus always being put on a customers experience. As a result of these experiences, I have designed a premium clothing line, Spandex Panda Collection, as a personal project. A chance to continually test new strategies with live results. What's YOUR dream ?

The initial launch of the brand was done in Calgary, AB where headquarters are. Upon the launch of the brand, there was a goal to also test a market on a smaller scale in what was projected to be an ideal location...the western wine producing region of Canada. Our goal was to try a different, scaled down approach, understanding that a different region & a different tour idea would be much different than the customary plan. The challenges would be different but could the same results be achieved. This was the goal of the project which is planned to be a 3+ year project.
