US-based Jewel Branding & Licensing is positioning itself for further growth in 2022, making a trio of new hires to build on its momentum in art licensing, brand licensing and creative services.
The company has welcomed Brian Kasman (pictured right) as licensing manager, responsible for managing key accounts, sales and new business. Brian was previously at Earthbound Brands and has a diverse licensing background, working with clients such as Ford Motor Company, WW (formerly Weight Watchers) and the US Open among others.
Meanwhile, Kendra Hull (pictured centre) has taken on the role of licensing operations manager, and will be working closely with the account and finance teams managing key accounts and licensees. She brings with her 12 years’ licensing experiences in consumer packaged goods.
Finally, Kristy Breen (pictured left) has joined the team as associate creative director. Most recently, Kristy was doing freelance graphic design work and providing trend and design direction in the art licensing industry.
In her new role, Kristy will play an instrumental role in trend research and the creation of brand materials, style guides, product mock ups and visual identity development.
“We are so excited to welcome Brian, Kendra and Kristy to the Jewel team,” said Julie Newman, founder and ceo of Jewel. “They each bring unique experience and skillsets to Jewel, setting us up for continued growth in all areas of our business.”
