Canalichio, a brand expansion and licensing strategist, outlines five steps to growing a brand through the LASSO (lateral, addictive, storied, scalable, and own-able) framework: laterally expanding the brand beyond its operating sector into wider life categories, making the brand addictive, using stories, making the brand scalable, and knowing what the brand owns and protecting ownership. He also explains how to assess brand optimization, and outlines a licensing process.
Pete Canalichio is a brand expansion and licensing strategist with over 25 years of business experience.

He served in the Navy as an aviator honing his leadership and decision-making skills as commander of a large multi-engine aircraft and 12-member crew during the height of Cold War tensions. Clear-headed and decisive under those extraordinary circumstances, he has applied that same leadership style to every challenge and opportunity he has faced in a distinguished career with such firms as Coca-Cola, Newell Rubbermaid and most recently, Licensing Brands, a business that he founded in 2009.
