SUMMARY:LESI WEBINAR: Brand Expansion & Licensing
DESCRIPTION:Brand Expansion & Licensing Part 8 – Optimization\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLES USA & Canada\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat actually makes a brand “own-able\,” and why does it matter more than almost anything else when you’re deciding how far to expand? \nIn this session (hosted by LES USA-Canada)\, Pete Canalichio (Founder and Managing Partner\, Brandalive) will unpack the LASSO Framework’s Own-ability pillar through real cases like Louis Vuitton’s trademark battle with My Other Bag and Coca-Cola’s “Share a Coke” campaign\, then dig into the three paths brands actually use to grow: franchising\, M&A\, and co-branding\, with lessons from Subway\, Disney/Marvel\, and BMW x Louis Vuitton along the way. \nWhether you’re weighing how to protect your brand’s identity or actively exploring your next expansion move\, you’ll walk away with a sharper framework for making that call.
