With insightful advice, anecdotes and tips from leading brand licensing professionals, household names like Coca-Cola and Disney, senior marketers and inspiring individuals, Canalichio has created a measured and proven "Think Big, Get Big" framework to truly help your brand first expand, grow successfully, and ultimately thrive.
