Having worked with all sorts of companies, from tech start-ups to clothing brands, toys, apps and so many more, we know that it’s all too easy to give up when you’ve had a set-back but Brand PR can make all the difference. By having a clear strategy, targeting the right consumers in the right places and having a team who really understand what message you’re wanting to send to people can change everything. Even a brand like Funko had to have real belief and a team behind them to reach the levels of success it has, as you can see below!
- Funko was founded in 1998 by toy collector Mike Becker at his home in Washington when he found there wasn’t a piggy bank in the form of the iconic Big Boy Restaurant mascot.
- Though they failed to sell, Mike carried on and his bobbleheads, using the licenses for Austin Powers, Tony the Tiger and The Grinch, were a huge success and he sold the company to current CEO, Brian Mariotti.
- Funko has over 1100 licences with different companies from Marvel to cereal brands to Motorhead!
- Funko regularly include random variants within shipments – slight differences in colours and textures which make them ultra-desirable amongst both collectors of Funko and franchise devotees
- With around 20,000 unique products created over the years, many have risen in value but none quite so much as a very limited version of Alex from the film version of A Clockwork Orange, the only difference from the standard version being that he isn’t carrying his cane. Yours for only $13,300!
