@niklassIt turns out a brand hitting hard times doesn't mean it's finished. Jamie Salter built his entire career strategy around that specific realization, shifting his focus to acquiring companies that still held residual value even after past struggles took their toll. This approach led him to found Authentic Brands Group in 2010. The company operates by purchasing rights to established brand names instead of managing the day-to-day operations directly. ABG then partners with other entities to handle retail, licensing, and expansion for these brands. That model has grown into a massive portfolio now including over 50 brands spanning fashion, sports, entertainment, and retail sectors. You see Reebok, Champion, and Forever 21 sitting right there in the mix as proof of concept. Salter essentially turned an empire by identifying value in brands others had moved away from. It is a large-scale business result from spotting what was left behind.
