Buffalo Works Merges with Fellow AgentBuffalo Works Merges with Fellow Agent

Art agencies combine forces.

The Buffalo Works and Suzanne Cruise Creative Services have merged to create a larger, full-service licensing agency.

The partnership will benefit both agencies’ collective base of licensed artists as well as strengthen the brands they represent.

“We feel this union utilizes the breadth of our combined experience to further benefit the clients we represent,” say Joanne Olds, president, The Buffalo Works, and Suzanne Cruise, founder, SCCS, in a joint statement. “The Buffalo Works will be able to focus more fully on the branding and product developing while SCCS will continue to focus on traditional art licensing opportunities. This will allow for even more licensing success for all of the amazing clients we now collectively represent.”

The Buffalo Works is one of the Top 35 global licensing agents, according to License! Global’s annual Top Agencies report. Last year, the agent ranked No. 32 and represented brands that generated $250 million in retail sales of licensed merchandise.
