Brand Licensing entering mainstream?

Is brand licensing entering mainstream?

We had an interview request from a national TV network. Either they are ahead or brand licensing is gaining consumer interest.

Sadly, the hook is a bad example of brand licensing, where a brand has licensed lower quality product for promotional channels and does not fulfill its brand promise.
Or as the interviewer suggested, it is misleading the brand customers.
