“Ultimately, we want to offer a range of products, opportunities and experiences to our fans,” says Friend. “Then we want to see what they’re gravitating to, be open-minded enough to listen, flexible and nimble enough to follow and strategic enough to plan for bigger moments. It’s not easy, but it’s fun as hell. I love it.”

With “Halo: Infinite” promising to bring fans of the gaming blockbuster back to the world of Master Chief, a next-generation console currently defining modern gaming experience and a world of new titles, IP and products on the way, the Licensing Mixtape dives deep into the world of Xbox fan engagement.
