Brandgenuity Continues Anniversary Celebration

In 2023, Brandgenuity celebrates its 20th anniversary. In 2003, four passionate licensing executives decided to join forces and launch an agency; Brandgenuity would focus on leveraging licensing as a tool for strategic growth and providing hands-on client service. In 2015, the agency expanded into Europe, with Teri Niadna heading the London office and all European operations. The agency has lots of exciting news in the works.

Brandgenuity was selected to build a global licensing program for the iconic life simulation game franchise, “The Sims,” targeted to its creative and diverse Gen Z and millennial fanbase. Lifestyle categories will include apparel, accessories, collaborations, collectibles and games, publishing and more.

Brandgenuity is expanding its relationship with Paramount in the U.K. In addition to MTV and its sub-brands, Brandgenuity will be seeking partnerships on behalf of Paramount’s TV and movie catalogue, including “Emily in Paris,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” “Baby Shark,” “South Park,” “SpongeBob SquarePants” and more.

Brandgenuity teamed with the NFLPA to host the first NFLPA Player Passport Tour in June, including a packed schedule across Frankfurt and London. Eight active NFL players were invited to attend the trip to build professional relationships for the NFLPA, as well as develop their own brands within the markets. With new products across the NFLPA portfolio launching during this year’s international games in London and Frankfurt, the Player Passport came at the perfect time for players to become even more acquainted with the hosting markets.
