NEW YORK, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dany Garcia, Chairwoman & CEO of The Garcia Companies, announces the launch of Danimás, an innovative media company and community built for the modern Trailblazer. Designed to inspire individuals who embody the "Athlete of Life" mindset, Danimás celebrates ambition and the journey, through the triumphs and defeats, for the pursuit of greatness in every facet of life.??
Backed by original research Garcia personally funded-which revealed that 65% of women feel underrepresented in media-Danimás will be home to dynamic content, first-person narratives, original programming, and cultural storytelling that shifts perspective and breaks boundaries.
Danimás is more than just a media platform - it's a movement and a mindset. At its core, it's a digital space that connects individuals who embrace strength as a lifestyle choice, extending beyond the gym and into their personal, professional, and creative pursuits. As a brand, it seeks to serve as a cultural touchpoint, highlighting individuals who are redefining industries - from leading entrepreneurs and athletes to creative visionaries and fashion innovators.
"The Trailblazer represents a new archetype - glamorous, bold, and unapologetic. Strength training is the great unlock to harnessing her innate power; She embraces her strength, allowing it to reverberate and leave a lasting impact on herself and others," says Garcia. "Danimás is where these individuals can find a community that fuels their ambitions and inspires their journeys."
Garcia, a professional bodybuilder, lifelong athlete, and accomplished entrepreneur who oversees a diversified portfolio of companies that span entertainment, media, fashion, sports, health, wellness, and consumer goods, brings a unique blend of business acumen and physical discipline to this groundbreaking initiative. Over the past decade, Garcia has played a pivotal role in producing culturally significant and commercially successful projects, including HBO's five-time-Emmy-nominated Ballers and blockbuster films such as Sony's globally beloved Jumanji franchise, Disney's Jungle Cruise and upcoming Live Action Moana, Netflix's Red Notice, Amazon's Red One, among others.
Garcia has appointed Liz Edmiston as Co-CEO of the Fashion Division at The Garcia Companies, where she will spearhead the development of Danimás. A dynamic and seasoned global retail leader, Edmiston most recently served as CEO of Lane Bryant, where she revitalized and modernized the beloved fashion brand, and as President and CEO of Groupe Dynamite Inc., in Montreal, guiding the company through a digital evolution and shaping its strategic growth trajectory.??As Chief Brand Officer of Calvin Klein, she oversaw the Asia Pacific region based in Hong Kong, transforming it from a licensed model to a fully owned and operated retail business with over 2600 stores. She has also held senior executive positions for companies such as Gap, Inc., Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, and Victoria's Secret.
"Liz is a powerhouse - she understands how to build brands that move culture," said Garcia. "Her proven ability to lead with discipline, resonate with consumers, and execute at scale make her the perfect partner to bring Danimás to life."
"Danimás is an exciting new concept," said Edmiston. "It's a brand built on strength and intention - where training meets style, and where creativity is expressed through every detail. This isn't just about a new content platform or fashion focused company, it's about building a community of power women who are interested in business, sports, fashion and culture and are intent on getting the most out of life."
For the launch, Danimás has partnered with Frosty, a premier global creative agency, and branding specialist Studio Alistair Gibbs to shape the brand's identity and visual narrative, culminating in a striking debut campaign.? Shot in London by renowned photographer Amber Pinkerton, the campaign, which showcases the first visual world of Danimás, merges power, training, strength, and glamour in a visually arresting and thought-provoking manner.
