License Global looks through 2025 and beyond to see which brands will celebrate anniversaries and what opportunities that might present to the licensing industry.
In the world of brand licensing, milestones like anniversaries offer more than just a reason to celebrate – they present unique opportunities to deepen consumer connections, drive sales and amplify brand visibility.
Whether it’s the centennial of an iconic brand or a decade since the launch of a beloved character, anniversaries hold immense significance for both licensors and licensees. These landmark moments serve as powerful marketing platforms, uniting nostalgia with fresh creative potential. For licensees, aligning with brand and intellectual property (IP) anniversaries isn't just strategic – it's essential for staying competitive, building partnerships and engaging fans in meaningful ways.
We know how often licensing deals are agreed and signed one, two or sometimes three years in advance. This extensive list helps you to keep abreast of what is coming up and where the potential licensing opportunities might be.
