Brand Licensing for Sports
Why brand licensing?
With globally recognised brands and passionate fanbases, brand licensing offers sports clubs, tournaments and associations the perfect opportunity to use licensed product ranges to drive new revenue and attract new fans.
The sports industry has sold over $27.8bn in licensed merchandise with success stories including Manchester City’s Puma Culture range, Nike and Spongebob Squarepants shoe deals or H&M’s NFL leisurewear.
