We are now working on the June issue of Toy World, which will include a special extended Licensing World section.

Included within this part of the magazine will be an extensive preview of Licensing Expo, which takes place from June 13th-15th at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, plus a separate feature on properties from licensors not exhibiting in Vegas and the latest character licensed merchandise launches from licensees in the kids’ space. Overall, it will be a nicely-balanced section that will appeal to both licensees and retailers.

The June ‘Licensing Special’ issue will land on buyers’ and licensees’ desks on 1st June, in good time for attendees to include it in their preparations for the event. The editorial deadline for this edition is 2nd May, while the ad copy date will be 15th May.

As our core readership includes all the main retail buyers and licensees across the kids’ space (not just toys), this edition will give advertisers the perfect opportunity to communicate with all of their key stakeholders and potential new partners at this important time of the year.

In addition to the Toy World print edition, there are also incremental advertising and editorial opportunities on our Licensing.biz website across May, June and the rest of the summer – we’re now taking bookings for Q2 & Q3 from licensors looking for digital marketing opportunities, and the period around Licensing Expo is already almost full.

To take advantage of this opportunity to showcase the very latest properties and licensing messages within this special licensing-focused issue of Toy World and on Licensing.biz, get in touch with John or Mark who are more than happy to set up a call, zoom or face-to-face meeting in London to explore the available options.
