New York, New York (PRWEB) May 09, 2017 -- Graj + Gustavsen (G+G), a full service strategic and creative brand and licensing consultancy firm has teamed up with IRONMAN, a Wanda Sports Holdings company, to extend the IRONMAN® brand globally to best-in-class manufacturers and retailers across all categories from apparel to healthy food alternatives. Through the agreement, G+G’s licensing division will develop a comprehensive execution strategy utilizing their 27 years of experience of building and extending brands.

IRONMAN will expand the power of the brand to new audiences by tapping G+G to create and build new licensing opportunities.
