TagSwag
President

Louisville native David Horne has been president of Tag Swag since 2020. 

He joined the company in 2018, when the multi-generational business was a screen printing embroidery company, Stitch Designers, that his parents founded. 

After eight years with the University of Louisville's soccer operations leadership, he recognized how the family company could adapt and pivot toward opportunity, greater growth and profitability. He was instrumental in the transformation -- devising an identity, building an e-commerce presence, and expanding its sales channels. Today, the company is well positioned for bigger opportunities.

David is a 2022 Business First Forty Under Forty honoree.  An international studies graduate of Centre College, David pursued soccer-related passions before his current career path -- notibly as a semi-pro player, assistant coach at Centre and GM of the Louisville Lightning indoor team. 

Event Secondary Body

#TagSwag is a swag factory in Louisville that puts logos on apparel and products and serves a wide variety of customer needs across several industries.  

Over the past five years, #TagSwag has pivoted to meet market demands by modernizing manufacturing, investing in automation, and expanding into web-based fulfillment. The company today operates more than 650 active custom web stores nationwide and manages large-scale, “brand-on-demand” programs for corporate partners such as Patagonia and Yeti, to name two.

The recent move into an 80,000-square-foot headquarters and production facility expanded capacity, diversified capabilities, and created a customer-oriented  experience center. Along with  disciplined financial management and a focus on operational scalability, the company is positioned for new growth opportunities, strategic partnerships, and long-term value creation.
