What AFFINITY MARKETING CONSULTANTS, INC does

Affinity Marketing Consultants, Inc., doing business as Greek Licensing, operates as a specialized licensing intermediary serving the U.S. collegiate Greek-letter and honorary-society market. Its core function is to bridge a fragmented supply side of 1,500+ licensed vendors (manufacturers, apparel brands, and other product/service providers holding Greek-letter trademarks) with a demand side of 100+ Greek-letter organizations and honorary societies that need to authorize and regulate the use of their marks. The firm curates approved vendors, manages licensing approvals, and collects royalties on behalf of the organizations.

The company's core technology asset is Affinity Gateway, a licensing and approvals platform that operationalizes the vendor-organization relationship, including onboarding, license issuance, and royalty administration. Adjacent ecosystem assets include FindGreek.com, a consumer-facing Greek-interest marketplace, and the Official Greek Shopper program, which extends the firm's footprint into shopper/coupon-style engagement with Greek-affiliated consumers and alumni.

Monetization is built around two streams: (a) licensing fees and royalty shares on transactions routed through approved vendors, and (b) agency commissions on licensed-vendor sales. Distribution is executed through a channel-partner model, leveraging relationships with both vendors and Greek organizations rather than a direct enterprise sales motion. The business operates in a narrow vertical with a finite universe of large Greek-letter organizations, and there is no indication of funding activity, M&A, or leadership disclosure in the available data.

• Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC): CLC is the dominant licensing agency for U.S. collegiate athletics trademarks and is the closest analogue to Affinity's Greek licensing model.
