Observer
The right partner does what straight PR cannot — drops your brand into a new audience, books press coverage on its own terms, and creates the kind of cultural moment a launch event aspires to. JBC originates, structures, and executes the deals end-to-end.
Our Partnerships practice — led by Vice President Charlotte Hohorst — runs collaborations, licensing agreements, and category alliances across fashion, beauty, food, home, and entertainment. We have closed multi-million-dollar deals with A-list design houses, celebrity brands, and category leaders.
We start with whitespace, not a Rolodex. Every partnership has to earn its place in the calendar — clear audience overlap, real economic terms, and a press story big enough to justify the lift. From there we handle deal structuring, contracts, creative direction, and the launch press strategy that turns it into news.
We map and approach the right design houses, retailers, celebrity brands, and category players — based on audience, narrative fit, and deal viability, not name recognition.
Term sheets, revenue splits, marketing commitments, and exclusivity windows — negotiated in service of the press story and the business outcome.
Tier-one exclusives, embargoed pre-briefs, and the social roll-out that turns the partnership into a cultural beat, not a quiet announcement.
Long-term licensing programs and category extensions — built so each new drop reinforces the parent brand instead of diluting it.
