Our Story

WE Are was born out of the need to elevate the fan experience while driving revenues by a company that will be a true partner to the licensed product industry. Drawing on their combined 70-plus years of industry experience that includes both buying and selling, Daryl McKay and John Franzini saw an opportunity to help clients/licensees navigate today’s challenging consumer product space.
