At Retail Monster, our executive team has successfully led some of the world's most elite brands, hailing from the likes of Disney, VIACOM, DreamWorks, and even Walmart. We have licensed products and spearheaded programs for Infants to Grandparents, and everyone in between, across the Globe.
We are a One-Stop-Shop agent offering everything needed in a vertical licensing model, at a margin that is more advantageous than going direct. Our model includes triggers to ensure that as your brand grows, then so do the resources dedicated to your company. It's easy to maximize the revenue on a hot property, but it takes resources to transition your brand from a promotional in-and-out business to a 365 everyday brand.
Agent Management
Brand Marketing
Our primary focus in the marketing of any brand is long-term sustainability and growth over three, five and even ten years. While a major promotional launch excites us, a brand must be placed on a trajectory that is immediately refreshed and maintained for a full year for Retail Monster to consider the launch successful.
Retail Marketing
Gone are the days of just placing a product or brand in a flyer and hoping the merchandise sells. From online shops to viral campaigns and in-store signage to in-store experiences, Retail Monster provides the action tools to ensure goods have the best chance to sell through.
