Get approved for the licenses you want.

Collegiate, pro, and entertainment licensing all run through applications, review committees, and relationships. We run the whole process — the plan, the paperwork, the samples, the follow-up — so licensors say yes.

Where We Get You Licensed

Every property type. Every agency.

College licensing alone is split across four agencies and hundreds of self-managed schools — each with its own application, review process, and portal. We know which door to knock on and what each one wants to see.

Collegiate

Applications through every agency that runs college licensing — CLC (800+ institutions), Fanatics Licensing Management, Affinity Licensing, Exemplar, and self-managed schools running their own programs.

  • CLC — the largest collegiate agency
  • Fanatics Licensing Management (CAMPUS)
  • Affinity Licensing (Gateway)
  • Exemplar's premium academic brands
  • Self-managed schools on BrandComply

Professional

League and players-association programs with higher bars to clear — manufacturing track records, six-figure minimum guarantees, and heavier insurance requirements.

  • Players-association licensing (NFLPA & more)
  • League & team property programs
  • Group licensing structures
  • Minimum guarantee & advance planning
  • Category rights strategy

Entertainment

Studio consumer-products programs are proposal-driven and relationship-gated. We build the pitch that gets a category team to say yes.

  • Studio consumer-products outreach
  • Category-routed proposals
  • Company profile & track record positioning
  • Product line & sell-sheet development
  • Advance & guarantee negotiation support
What Approval Actually Takes

Licensors reject brands that look unprepared.

An application is a package: plan, samples, insurance, and money. Weak packages sit in queues. Complete ones get approved. We make yours complete.

Application & Business Plan

Licensors want a real plan — target retailers, product mix, and proof you'll invest in the category. We write it with you and position it to pass.

Product Samples & Review

Representative samples that show quality and brand fit. We prep exactly what each agency's review committee wants to see.

Insurance & Compliance

Product liability coverage naming the right parties — from $1M/$2M for collegiate programs to significantly higher for pro properties. We make sure certificates are right the first time.

Advances & Minimum Royalties

Nearly every license carries an advance or minimum guarantee. We model what you'll actually owe so there are no surprises at signing.

How It Works

From target list to approved licensee.

01

Target List

We map the properties that fit your product and audience — which schools, leagues, or studios, in what order, and which agency controls each one.

02

Positioning & Application

We build the business plan, prep the samples, line up insurance, and submit through the right channel — CLC, CAMPUS, Gateway, or direct.

03

Direct Outreach

Applications don't approve themselves. We follow up directly with licensing directors — the people who approve your applications already know us.

04

Approval & Onboarding

Once you're approved, we get your logins set up, your first designs submitted, and your program live — then Management takes over the day-to-day.

Approved and live? Our Management pillar keeps you compliant from day one.
