We develop and advise lifestyle brands

 

Building brands is our business

Our team of creatives, strategists and operators, along with our extensive network of trusted vendors and other strategic partners, collaborates with brands at various stages of their journeys. There are four main scenarios in which we engage:



Incubation

Launching promising founders into emerging industries

Early Stage Advisory

Helping great brands reach the next level

Greenfield Development

Turning untapped potential into the next big thing

Consultation

Guiding established players through moments of growth or evolution

 

Our favorite brands are created by and for communities we know and love

Over the years, we have been fortunate to cultivate an extended network of talented friends & family, luminaries of film, fashion, art, food, music, sports and wellness. Together, we build brands that play at the intersection of these cultures and commercial opportunity. We also tap into our collective empathy and awareness of the world to provide for groups of people that deserve some extra love.

 

We help navigate lucrative but highly complex industries

Our specialty is helping proven entrepreneurs with compelling concepts make products for the audiences they know best. We also identify neglected consumer segments or product categories and build new brands with handpicked teams that are dedicated to filling the voids. And, on occasion, we partner with established businesses to help guide their strategy, creative, production and marketing.

Branding expertise, creative vision, product obsession, marketing toolkits, cultural influence, data-driven action...It’s all in the family.

 

Our Job is to be at the center of everything

We create brands and campaigns but we are not just a creative agency. We design products and packaging but we are not just design firm. We guide business strategies and operations but we are not just a consultancy. Our success, and the value we provide to our partners, is rooted in our multidisciplinary, fully-integrated approach to brand building. Although we don’t do everything ourselves, we connect all of the dots through a singular and consistent vision that balances art with science, topline with bottomline and big picture with all the little details.

Welcome to the Family, Friend

Maybe we already know you. It’s possible we are friends. At the very least, we are probably friends-of-friends. If you are interested in collaborating with us or just want to learn more, contact us here. To learn more about Joshua Katz, the Founder and CEO of Friends & Family Brands, go here.
