Brands: they stir emotions, tell inspiring stories and encourage loyal followers. When leveraged successfully, they can also be powerful assets for generating new revenue streams through licensing and brand extension.
Driven by digital transformation and changing behaviours, the world of consumer experience and retail is always evolving. Nonetheless, the opportunities to extend a brand are endless.
