For manufacturers

Find out which brands will license to you, then get the deal done.

Your manufacturing and distribution channels are up and running and you have established sales channels. Now you’re seeking licenses to add another revenue channel. I've sat on both sides of the table, managing the major licensors for a hardgoods manufacturer, and negotiated global distribution license contracts for global IP holders. I know what licensors are looking for and what makes them say yes. Answer the questions below to get started.

Licensing exploration

We find out whether the IP holders you want will take interest in your product line.

What IP are you seeking to license?

What are your current channels of distribution? How many doors in each?

Product strategy

Which properties belong on which products?

What are your top products? What categories?

Contract negotiation

Royalties, minimum guarantees, categories, territories, approvals, term. The goal is always an actionable and mutually beneficial agreement.

What is your budget for minimum guarantees per license?

Program setup

Category strategy, target list, and the operating discipline licensors expect from a partner.

For IP holders

Licensing programs that generate recurring revenue.

Whether you're starting a program, growing one, or fixing one that isn't performing. At PopSockets I grew the licensing program into a multimillion-dollar business in less than three years.

Program strategy and turnarounds
Category strategy, partner selection, and the operating discipline that keeps a program profitable. Setting up a new program, or fixing one that is underperforming.
Finding licensees
Manufacturers that fit your brand and can actually deliver: the right categories, the right retail reach, the right quality. All vetted before you meet them.
Contract negotiation
Royalties, minimums, territories, approvals, term. Deals structured so both sides are encouraged to support the relationship for the length of the term.
Portfolio and category strategy
Which properties to license and into which categories.
