New Campaign Alert:

Check out the latest Lucid campaign called “Compromise Nothing”. Lucid’s spot, filled with archival footage, showcases their electric car alongside iconic cultural figures Muhammad Ali, Neil Armstrong and Nina Simone declaring that the great ones never compromise. You can see the spot here.  

If you want to find an authentic creative fit with one of our icons, just give us a shout. We can also share more info about any assets to enhance your campaign (photos, footage, film clips but also quotations, drawings, etc..).

Content & Talent Search: 

SB Licensing recently assisted a luxury fashion house with content and talent research, working diligently to identify copyright owners of photos and identify supermodels from the 80’s.

SB Licensing utilised its connectivity with photo archives specialising in fashion to identify photos by Richard Avedon for example. SB Licensing used its network of agents to confirm representation of models who were still in activity, researched family members of deceased models and traced models who were no longer in the industry.
