Started in 2023 by licensed product veterans, POPCORE celebrates entertainment with collectible high quality posters and other art-driven products, dedicated to driving footfall at in-person events.
FOUNDERS
POPCORE was founded by two industry leaders in entertainment and licensed products. Having worked cumulatively for over three decades at companies like Disney/ABC, PBS, Mondo, QVC, Williams-Sonoma, Crate & Barrel, and more - they leverage their years of experience, market accumen, and keen aesthetic eye to bring human-made art to fans of movies, television, games, sports, and more. Their deep expertise is what sets them apart - the knowledge of how to create market-leading results for any company through the confluence of art and products.
Advisory board
In addition to our core team, POPCORE works with an advisory council that includes luminaries across creative and art management, exhibition and theatrical operations, production, supply chain, logistics, licensing, and more. POPCORE relishes a challenge - tell us your dream product or retail event and we can find the resources to make it not only successful, but better than you though possible!
OUR ARTISTS
Our close relationship to over 125 internationally renowned artists is what makes POPCORE so special. We can match aesthetics and art direct into any with project goal, thrilled partners and fans.
Our mission
Our mission is to foster deeper connections between artists and fans through physical products. We believe in "Beauty, Benefit, and Good" - everything we do is meant to create joy, respect all, and leave the world a better place.
Our company is built on our admiration of art and artists. Simply put, we cannot exist without them, so we believe in fair, timely, life-affirming compensation that allows artists to keep making art. Most importantly, nothing is more important, nor requires more humanity, than the creation of art. For that reason, we choose to work with artists, not AI.
We strive to foster an environment of equality and diversity, and recognize that there is always more work to be done. As such, we are always seeking new voices, particularly from experiences that have been historically marginalized. We are a proudly woman-owned, LGBTQIA+ led company.
We create responsibly: archival quality meant to last generations; fair trade and stringent social compliance practices; eco-friendly processes like FSC-certified papers, water-based inks, wastewater recycling, and wax screens that reduce plastic use.
