Intern at The Shark Group in New York, NY

Company Description

As arbiters of culture and style, we don’t just have our finger on the pulse – we dictate the beat.

Shark Branding’s team of expert communicators, strategic analysts, and creative heavyweights excels in transforming businesses into iconic brands. At our helm is business and branding expert Daymond John, CEO and Founder of FUBU, a $6 billion global fashion game-changer. As he demonstrates on ABC’s hit reality series Shark Tank and from behind the scenes of countless business success stories, Daymond possesses a singular talent for tapping into the heart of a brand and positioning it for wild success. Having transformed a single, handmade product into a global fashion juggernaut, Daymond’s entrepreneurialism and trend-moving influence are key to our cultivation of great brands.

Putting products in the hands of influencers and trendsetters is Shark Branding’s core practice. Our relationships with celebrity tastemakers go beyond business, representing a media residency that actually lasts, not drying up with the passage of trends.

Our clients benefit from a 360° approach to the growth of a healthy, successful brand with services ranging from brand strategy, design, and licensing; event development; celebrity affiliation and media; digital marketing; and the fundamentals of business leadership.
