Experience where it matters
We at Project Partners Network hail from all corners of the merchandising world. Our experience is vast and varied, so chances are we’ve been in your position and are familiar with the challenges you face. Even more advantageous to you, we know precisely how it feels to be the person opposite you at any given sales meeting, trade show, or negotiation table.
Some of us have built careers as licensors, which is another way of saying we acted as gatekeepers for trusted trademarks owned by a corporation. Some of us were licensees, which is the role that reputable manufacturers fill when they make merchandise that incorporates a trademark owned by an outside entity. All of us bear the imprint of a retailer’s perspective, thanks to our company founders. These sensibilities flow through each calculation we make.
The “Network” part of Project Partners Network is another aspect of what makes our company unique. When needed, clients may tap into the expertise of professionals we personally trust. Each is well versed in licensing and can help you reach your goals efficiently. Services range from overall strategy to specific social media stories. See Our Virtual Team for the complete list.
We have experience in contracts, product approvals, and trademark clearance. We are fluent in finessing the details that can make a licensing alliance seem seamless. We provide tools and other techniques to ensure your licensing program stays on track. Best of all, we are independent and unbiased.
We take a collaborative approach to developing customized strategies and practical tactics that are right for you. We have one agenda: Giving you what you need.
