Brand studies that Art Brand Studios have done in the years past placed their demographic largely with female collectors between the ages of 30-55. As they have added branded art programs, their demographic skewing younger and brought more male collectors into the mix, particularly for some of their newer entertainment properties. With the COVID-19 pandemic skewing this demographic even more, the company geared up to offer new licensed products they hadn't tapped into before.
