Success Stories
Licensing is the process of 'renting' an intellectual property (IP) or well-known brand for commercial use. This brand could be in the form of a logo, graphic, character or song. Connecting a powerful brand to an in demand product helps to increase sales and drive additional revenue.
Licensing is a marketing and brand extension tool that is widely used by everyone from major corporations to small businesses. Licensing can extend a brand into new categories, areas of a store or into new stores entirely. It also allows retailers and manufacturers to stand out from the competition and offer consumers the hottest brands as well as drive sales.
"Brand Licensing has become a business imperative for any brand owner or product maker looking to take their company to the next level. It is one of the best ways to create an experiential shopping opportunity for customers to engage with beloved brands in novel ways."
Steven Ekstract - Brand Director, Global Licensing Group
