Esther Jolley
IA Director

Esther advises our clients on all things Brand Licensing. This usually means working with brand owners that are considering licensing in or out, are already extending their brand into new categories by working with third party licensees, or are a licensee themselves. Brand licensing requires an understanding of a broad range of areas including the retail landscape, sales and distribution, product development and counterfeiting challenges and Esther uses her experience of these areas to support the various services we offer at Stobbs.

For around 20 years, Esther has worked with Brand Owners (Licensors) and Manufacturers (Licensees), the majority of that time in senior positions with two of the largest global agencies. She also worked as General Manager/Head of Licensing for a manufacturer which held multiple licenses. She has previously been responsible for building and managing licensing programmes for many well-known licensors including Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Hershey’s, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar Land Rover, Harley-Davidson and Kodak and a wide range of other companies all over the world and across multiple product categories.

In her spare time, Esther loves spending time with family and friends, preferably involving food! She's a big fan of outdoor activities including hiking, paddle boarding and skiing and loves travelling to new places. She can also wile away lot of time browsing interiors websites and watching property programmes where she gets a lot of ideas that are way beyond her budget!
