US market build - For US brands scaling beyond DTC and for international brands entering the market. We design the channel strategy, open specialty, department-store and national accounts, stand up a showroom and sales organization, and manage the wholesale and retail business against a plan. Delivered with Retail Fashion Solutions in New York.

International expansion - Distribution, licensing, hybrid and joint-venture structures across Europe, Asia and Latin America, built on a partner network developed over thirty years. We source and negotiate the partner, structure the agreement, and manage the relationship after signing.

Operating the brand - Where a brand owner needs a team in market rather than an advisor, BGI acts as that team: managing the subsidiary, the sales organization, the marketing calendar and the partner relationships. Engagements are retained, with terms aligned to the growth we create. Marketing is delivered through Cutwater (brand, creative, media) and A88 (digital, social, performance), scoped to the engagement.

Licensing and IP - Category extensions, regional licenses, IP sales and joint ventures that maximize the value of a brand's intellectual property. Home and lifestyle extensions are led by our Home partner, with thirty-five years in the category.

Capital and structure - Equity and debt capital raise to fund brand growth, and structuring of licensing, JV and IP transactions. Led by a partner with thirty years in institutional finance and fund governance.
