Octane5 Unveils Ignite Marketplace: Where Licensing Deals Get Done
May 18, 2026 | Press Releases
Octane5 just changed how brands and licensees find each other with Ignite Marketplace™, the first ever no-cost discovery and deal platform built directly into BrandComply — replacing the often slow, informal licensing grind with a structured, transparent pipeline that moves at the speed of the business.
"Licensing runs on relationships, and Ignite Marketplace is designed to supercharge them," said Mike Dunn, Co-President of Octane5. "We've built an incredible database of licensors and licensees over the years. It was time to put that to work — giving the entire industry a powerful, no-cost platform to connect and close deals. No-cost means exactly that – no sign-up fee, no deal percentage, no cost whatsoever to participate.”
For brand owners: Publish your profile, showcase your properties, and set your exact partner requirements. An automated screening engine filters incoming inquiries against your criteria — so your team focuses on real opportunities, not cold outreach noise.
For licensees: Get a dedicated dashboard with personalized brand match recommendations, a portfolio to highlight your capabilities, and streamlined workflows that auto-fill from your profile. Qualified inquiries flow directly into BrandComply Deals and Contracts — one system, start to finish.
Ignite Marketplace also introduces Collabs — a shared workspace for brand-to-brand co-licensing partnerships, complete with dedicated collaboration tools.
Free Ignite Marketplace opt-in is now open to existing BrandComply brand owners and licensee users and free sign up those not using BrandComply. Interested parties should visit Octane5 at booth C180 at Licensing Expo for registration details.
