    Founded in 2005, Footasylum has a proven track record in the inception of Own Brand labels in the UK and European markets. Brands such as Glorious Gangsta, KWD, Monterrain, and Zavetti are notable examples. 

    Knowing of the opportunity that exists to grow the business' multicategory Own Brand proposition further, BrandASYLUM has been formed. This new business unit aims to increase this proposition's commerciality and brand legitimacy through targeted investment in strategy, people, and time.

You should have a firm understanding of best practices in the areas of expertise but have the agility in the process to adapt to the needs of the brands.
