Company Overview
Authentic Brands Group (ABG) is a global brand development, marketing, and entertainment company founded in 2010 by Jamie Salter. Headquartered in New York City, ABG's core business model involves acquiring the intellectual property of a diverse portfolio of over 50 global brands and celebrity likenesses. The company focuses on repositioning these brands for long-term growth and then partners with a global network of best-in-class manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers to license the brand rights. This asset-light strategy allows ABG to generate revenue from royalties without directly managing inventory or retail operations. Its portfolio includes iconic names in fashion, sports, and entertainment such as Reebok, Brooks Brothers, Forever 21, Sports Illustrated, Elvis Presley, and Muhammad Ali. The company is privately held and backed by major investors including CVC Capital Partners, HPS Investment Partners, and BlackRock.
