Constellation Management Group is founded upon some important guiding principles and beliefs:

• Consolidation in the retail environment is driving the need for differentiation using strong retail brands.
• New businesses must be built on clearly defined, concrete brand strategies.
• Licensing models can and should be more efficient and more streamlined.
• We invest, long term, in the success of our clients' businesses. Our compensation should be based on the level of market success our clients achieve with the retail brands we help bring to market.
