FASTSIGNS’ parent company changes name

FASTSIGNS International Inc., the franchisor of FASTSIGNS, has created a parent company called Propelled Brands.

The sign franchise's parent company introduced the new branding to better represent its growing portfolio of businesses. Since acquiring IT repair franchise, NerdsToGo, it's keen to manage it alongside FASTSIGNS under one corporate umbrella.

Catherine Monson, CEO of Propelled Brands and Chair of the International Franchise Association, explained,

“We are thrilled to officially unveil Propelled Brands as the umbrella under which we will operate and grow a portfolio of service-oriented franchise brands.

“We look forward to amazing opportunities ahead, in addition to the continued growth for our existing franchisees and our team members. Propelled Brands marks a key milestone for us as we lay the foundation to expand our portfolio of brands.”

With a focus on service-based franchises, Propelled Brands will build a portfolio of businesses and support each to fulfil their potential.

Catherine and the team at the parent company will examine the companies’ individual positions and potential opportunities, and use them to inform future growth plans. The franchisor can also guide every franchisee in the network, delivering expert advice so they can maximise their success.

Jennifer Herskind, the Chief Marketing Officer at Propelled Brands, said,

“We believe Propelled Brands knows where it’s going and exactly how to get there. It offers a clear vision and supportive business model for each franchise brand to equip franchisees on a path to success.”

Now, Propelled Brands is looking forward to establishing partnerships with other service-oriented franchises with its positive and dynamic growth ambitions. You can find out more about the parent company at its website, PropelledBrands.com.
