Marketing firm adds 360-degree licensing capabilities – from strategy
to creative to execution LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Tangent Agency, a fast-growing brand strategy and creative agency, today announced the launch of its licensing division. Tangent has already been working closely with consumer products and licensing groups across the entertainment industry, including Warner Bros., Fox, NBCUniversal and Sony. One of Tangent’s recent creative licensing collaborations was developing the promotions, retail and packaging guide for Universal Pictures’ and Illumination’s “The Secret Life of Pets 2,” which will be hitting store shelves globally this summer. “Licensing exists because people want to continue experiencing an IP, brand or character beyond how they already engage,” said Marc Becker, CEO of Tangent. “Many are leaving a lot of money on the table by treating licensing as an afterthought, and we are working to change this by making brand extensions part of the initial strategy. Tangent Licensing will allow clients to focus on their core business, while we help them realize their full potential – building stronger fan relationships, lasting engagement and unlocking new revenue streams.” Tangent has developed licensing strategies, sales materials and creative for hundreds of the top global entertainment IP and franchises across every genre. With this new division, Tangent will go beyond its award-winning strategy and creative to provide end-to-end consumer products and licensing services. It works with IP owners to handle the full licensing life-cycle – from strategic planning, artwork and brand building to partnerships, deal-closing and retail execution. “I don’t start any project without first reaching out to Tangent for the best strategies and materials,” said industry veteran George Leon, founder and CEO of Cakewalk Entertainment. Tangent brings a unique angle to the traditional licensing agency by leveraging its innovative in-house team of designers and marketing experts to build brands, and connect them with a robust network of licensees, publishers and retailers. Building upon the conventional licensee and retail models, Tangent will also employ newer tactics such as direct-to-consumer sell-through and influencer engagement through social media. “Marc and his team have nailed the formula for creating unique cross-category campaigns led by break-out creative,” said Lora Cohn, who served as SVP of Global Sales Strategy at 20th Century Fox Consumer Products. Brands, talent, influencers and IP holders can harness the same power as big franchise properties. Now clients can tap into Tangent’s diverse team of specialists who bring decades of strong licensee relationships across every category, including toys, apparel, publishing, gaming, costumes, health & beauty, across both traditional and digital platforms. Tangent Licensing will serve as an outsourced licensing department or as an extension of an existing team. About The Tangent Agency The Tangent Agency is an industry-leading marketing powerhouse working hand-in-hand with partners to fortify properties with innovative content and captivating creative, always built upon the foundation of insight-driven strategy.
