From “What Is” to
“What’s Next.”

We’re committed to fostering dynamic brand alliances. Often those alliances are born from one brand’s need and another’s ability to meet that need. The IMC team are experts at recognizing and creating those opportunities, but our real expertise is people. Standing side by side, as consultants, partners, peers, and as friends, we’re driven by a singular purpose: creating a smart idea.

Why IMC

We believe growth starts with trust

For more than 20 years, we’ve helped top brands expand through strategic licensing by connecting them with the right partners to bring ideas to life. We lead with relationships because we know success follows when people come first. Our approach blends curiosity, experience, and creative thinking to develop licensing programs that reflect each brand’s identity and long-term goals.

We ask big, future-focused questions like “What will this look like in five years?” to ensure the products we help create resonate today and still make sense tomorrow. We’re detail-oriented, market-savvy, and committed to creating value that lasts.

Licensing is more than a transaction. It’s a relationship, and at IMC, that’s where everything begins.

These values are the foundation of every conversation, collaboration, and decision we make. They define our approach to creating meaningful, long-term impact.
