Art of Possibility announces that Hunter Heller will bring his expertise in complex licensing relationships to the company to propel forward its mission of promoting the fine artwork of physically disabled artists under its Art of Possibility® Studios brand.
As a licensing strategist with over 16 years experience from diverse media organizations and globally recognized brands, Disney and Sesame Street, Hunter is charged with nurturing relationships with licensees and retailers. His background across traditional merchandise and publishing categories will allow him to leverage Art of Possibility’s content and brand to create significant opportunities, identify critical relationships and develop strategies for growth.
“We’re delighted and relieved to have Hunter’s talents on board” noted overworked Art of Possibility founder Ketra Oberlander. “Growing from an idea that ‘just might work’ to active licensees, recruiting and developing new artists, and ever enlarging the number of SKUs that express the breadth of our circle of love meant an avalanche of work consuming and dividing my time. I’m confident that Hunter will be a huge asset to us and I look forward to our continued expansion when we’ll need a dozen like-minded executives and have a wheelbarrow full of operating capital to reward them lavishly.”
