About Tacony Corporation

Tacony Corporation is a third-generation, family-owned manufacturer and distributor founded in 1946, operating across four core divisions: sewing machines, home floor care (vacuums), commercial floor care, and ceiling fans/lighting. With 70+ years of consistent growth, the company reaches 100+ countries and maintains a strong culture built on 'Tradition,…

The Challenge

Tacony, a family-owned company with more than 70 years in business and 20 diverse brands, needed to modernize its brand messaging to resonate with the next generation of hobbyists and makers. This was especially important for its direct-to-consumer brand, Nancy's Notions.

Our Approach

To guide the transition, we ran an extensive market and competitor review to understand the industry's current state and direction, complemented by primary research into the consumer journey and brand perceptions. We also drew on social media to learn more about the target audience. From those insights, we developed a brand positioning pivot, moving Tacony from a traditional supplier to a "conduit for creativity," capturing its aim to inspire and empower a new generation of creatives.

The Impact

With a renewed positioning and a deeper understanding of its modern audience, Nancy's Notions put these changes into its go-to-market communication strategy. In doing so, Tacony repositioned itself to stay relevant and appealing to the next generation of hobbyists, ensuring the continuity of its legacy in a modern context. The change is more than visual; it signals a shift in how Tacony embraces the creative spirit of a new generation.
