MANILA, Philippines – Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao leads a collection of local and international personalities in the launch of a Philippine-based start-up, which offers celebrity-designed and curated franchising and licensing options.

The start-up, Renegade Branding Concepts, operates in the fields of beauty, fashion, health and wellness, home interiors and food and beverage.

Pacquiao is just one of many personalities who created their own brand of products and services for Renegade.

The new start-up challenges traditional models of launching possible ventures by offering fully realized licensing concept interiors. All licensing concepts are curated by partner celebrities and influencers who are referred to as "renegades."

Renegade Branding Concepts is the brainchild of branding magnate Robbie Antonio.
