Property Representation

The Licensing Group represents properties throughout the world and maintains a network of sub-agents globally.

DEFINING THE PROGRAM

We believe each property is distinctive and therefore requires the development of a licensing program tailored to complement its strengths and maximize its potential. From start to finish, The Licensing Group works with property owners to build comprehensive and profitable licensing programs.

TLG works with the property owner to identify the property’s core consumers, and thus the level of retail distribution. Together we help determine primary categories and key products, and we suggest appropriate marketing territories.

SELLING THE RIGHTS

Only then does The Licensing Group move on to selling the rights to manufacturers.

TLG’s personal solicitations to a broad range of companies in appropriate product categories are key. In addition to an extensive up-to-date database of manufacturers who historically purchase licensing rights, and a large number of companies with which we have existing relationships, TLG uses social media to spot the newest trends.

We work with an extensive network of international sub-agents who represent our interests in their respective markets. With these relationships, we are able to build international licensing programs that will complement the domestic licensing operation.

The Licensing Group acts as Administrator to the property owner by preparing proposals and Merchandising License Agreements, overseeing product approvals, and managing the collection and distribution of royalty payments.

Manufacturer Representation

The Licensing Group represents a select number of manufacturers for acquisition of licenses that complement the manufacturer’s objectives. Through its extensive network of relationships throughout the licensing industry, TLG has the ability to play a significant role in acquiring properties on behalf of manufacturers.

Licensing Consulting

The Licensing Group consults to property owners (licensors) in all phases of developing and executing their licensing programs. TLG also works with licensees to determine the consumer base for the licenses they have and what products to manufacture.

In addition to consulting to property owners and manufacturers, The Licensing Group actively consults to government entities and various organizations.
