Our Model
Licensing is a steep learning curve and experience is at a premium. At Golden Goose, you will only work with licensing experts that have learnt how to set licensing strategies, source the right new partners, and develop products that are brand enhancing and revenue generating. Each of our clients are allocated a specific account director depending on their requirements

"I started Golden Goose with a hatful of ideas, a bagful of energy, and a pocketful of nothing. It’s been a long hard slog to build a credible brand in an industry that has, until recently, not been well respected by marketeers. Brand licensing has the ability to launch a new product that can change the way people think about a brand or a category. It’s fabulous to be able to focus on strategic innovation."Adam Bass |
