This is the most business-brained poo poo I've ever seen. WHY WOULD ANYONE USE THIS???

Ship your way
After we onboard your products, you can accept orders and fulfil them ready for shipping to your customers locally or internationally.


-(it sounds like you are responsible for shipping the product itself- so what exactly does egeez do other than decide if you are worthy to sell on this "marketplace"?)

Geolocate your fans
Trusted users access egeez marketplace dedicated to global licensed brands whenever, wherever. Boost your visibility with fans in the grid geo-located. Add as many shipping locations.


-(this seems to mean that you can ship to anyone who orders? kind of an easy thing for egeez to tout if they aren't the ones actually fulfilling the orders. "You mean I'm personally on the hook for getting this thing 'whenever, wherever'?? Wow!!")

Maximize visibility with
Artificial Intelligence
Every cartoon or celebrity has fans worldwide. Our entergaging AI predicts the IP statistics per region such as popularity, ranking, sales, fan base, and more in order to target your licensed products to the right fans who will buy. You just ship!


-(again- I just ship? is this purely a marketing service? was this the same science that led Nathen to choose Garfield based solely of how much the license makes?)

Retain your
customers
egeez is your digital marketplace that will act on your behalf to automatically remind customers of your products with our creative content generator and social media expertise.


-(translation: Nathen will shill your product in an Instagram story which will probably make people less willing to buy it. The whole "Garfield is celibate" thing is so insane on its face I can't even attempt to exaggerate or parody it.)

Tailored Dashboard
Access your egeez reports, sales, orders, and more to make enhanced decision making with your licensor, marketing team, & manufacturer as you learn on the go about your licensed products.


-(I guess it would kind of suck if they didn't let you see how few people are buying through the platform, but ultimately what I'm wondering is how much they take off or add on to every order)

Overall the word I would choose is "upsetting". He doesn't seem like a malicious guy but I really don't see the value in any of these ventures. The truth is none of these things- egeez, GarfieldEATS, Scooby EATS, whatever- have a reason to exist.

Load with debt, falsify profits, extract dividends, sell the company to morons. It probably isn't even technically illegal in the UAE as long as the princelings get their cut.

EGeez sounds like it's born under the assumption that IP owners make their own action figures and poo poo and then licensors have to buy them and sell them. This is incredibly backwards and seems far too stupid to exist in the real world but it's the only strategy I can rationally divine from his bullshit corporatespeak. There's just nothing there.

it's a product that is designed for nathans.

think about it - you've just become the youngest ever licensee for marmaduke, what do you do? you log on egeez, tell it what products you have, then you switch back over to instagram to begin the entergagement, secure in the knowledge that behind the scenes ??? is happening without ever having to set up your own storefront or metrics or account management. your 'business' will practically run itself!

Garfield, Scooby Doo (and Mickey Mouse for that matter) are all great examples of legacy media characters that make millions (billions?) for their respective owners but they aren't really part of contemporary culture like, at all. They go decades without appearing anything so the adoration for them is mostly residual/lack of pushback to marketing- they're an easy thing to slap on to any product to move it. Nobody hates Garfield, but everybody hates Mondays- the enemy of our enemy is our friend. However that doesn't mean we're craving coffee with orange peels because lol at the fat orange cat. Did I mention he's hungry?? He loves pizza shaped like his head!! And lasagna that is "cowboy cut" for some reason.

Guys I think I just realized what the deodorant tweets were about. The deodorant company had probably been foolish enough to sign in on this eGeez thing, and those tweets were Mazri doing his branding wizardry!
