A new player hit the field in the lucrative world of sports licensing, as Brevettar announced July 7 the launch of its full-service licensing agency.
The new company describes its mission as maximizing revenue by connecting best-in-class brands with strategic collaborations and licensing opportunities. As the exclusive licensing agent for Upper Deck, the worldwide leader in authentic sports and entertainment memorabilia and premium collectibles, Brevettar already provides collectible merchandise opportunities for some of the world’s most popular athletes, brands and intellectual properties.
“Brevettar creates one-of-a-kind merchandise for brands interested in expanding their brand portfolio through authentic autographed and/or licensed collectibles,” the company said in a statement. “To deliver, Brevettar brought on industry veteran Stu Crystal as General Manager. Crystal brings years of experience in marketing, merchandising, and consumer products to the company. He is known for his success as Vice President of Consumer Products at Major Soccer League and work with top players in the sports space, including United Soccer League, Upper Deck and more, managing a variety of licensing needs.”
The new company got off to a flying start by signing Upper Deck, a globally known leader in the sports collectible industry.
