Licensing International has announced a partnership with BetterHelp, offering a new series of benefits available to members just in time for Mental Health Awareness Month, which takes place in May.

BetterHelp, the world’s largest online counselling service, endeavours to make professional therapy accessible, affordable, and convenient, and has helped more than 2 million people to date. Offering a comprehensive Mental Health Program for organisations, Licensing International will join its roster of partners alongside other notable organisations using BetterHelp’s services, including TikTok, American Express, Greenpeace, and more.

Through this partnership, more than 1,200 members of Licensing International (and their staff) will now have access to:

  • Four complimentary sessions
  • Access to over 20,000 licensed therapists and professional counsellors
  • Flexible session scheduling through texting, phone, video and live chat
  • Help anywhere, with availability in 200+ countries and 56 languages

“The foundation of every company is its employees, and if those employees aren’t healthy both physically and mentally, it will affect the success and future of your organisation,” says Maura Regan, President of Licensing International. “It’s important to not only offer our members the proper resources to achieve this, but also the appropriate platform to have those conversations, which we have found in BetterHelp.”

Licensing International members can confirm eligibility and get started beginning May 5.

Posted on by

Award-winning global independent animation studio ZAG has announced that since opening its first Latin American office in Mexico City just six months ago, over 30 new licensees, retailers and various promotional partners have come on board to partner with the company’s flagship brand, Miraculous – Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.   

The announcement was made by Julian Zag, EVP Global Operations and Head of Consumer Products.

Most recently signed partners include Yuyin (shoes); Fotorama (school products including backpacks); Novelties Best Trading (stationery, novelties and kids cosmetics); Cool Things (accessories); Área Creativa (gifts) and Helados Willy (ice-cream).

These new products will start to roll out at retail in autumn 2022. Additional current strategic partners for the territory include Union Kids and Avante Textiles (apparel); E Fashion (pajamas and sleepwear); Fantasy Ruz (costumes); 4E (health and beauty); Flying Wheel (skates, scooters tricycle, bicycles, and protective gear); Andromeda (stationary and dinnerware); Granmark (party goods); and Siglo XX1 (melamine).

Additionally, ZAG has created a unique promotion for Miraculous branded merchandise to be featured at Emoción Deportiva, a race that takes place later this year in Mexico City. Parents and children will run in pairs, and runners will receive an exclusive Miraculous bag, medal, face mask and t-shirt with options of 1, 2, 3, and 5 kilometre runs.

In Mexico, the toy line from ZAG Lab and Playmates, distributed by Bandai Mexico since 2017, has been a huge success with a 130% increase in sales over 2021 and 84% product sell-through.

The toy line includes the top-selling fashion doll alongside action figures, role-playing games, stuffed animals, collectibles and roleplay.

Toys are available throughout Mexico at mass market in supermarkets, department stores, and specialised and e-commerce stores. This autumn, the new product line will be available, including an expanded Heroez doll line with new characters and 19 Kwami collectibles.

“Mexico is a the largest and most mature market in Latin America and aspirational to Latino countries,”  says Julian Zag. “Miraculous Ladybug has 91.67% awareness in Mexico for girls ages 7–9 due to the robust content available on key platforms and everyone is excited for the upcoming animated $100M+ feature that will debut later in the year.

“We are focusing on generating the best brand experiences and products for our Miraculous Ladybug fans and are delighted to have signed with such a distinguished group of licensees. We are also in discussion with partners for collaborations that will bring location-based experiences and activities to families, retail pop-ups, and a new line of products for young adults. We can’t wait to get these new products on shelves alongside our hugely successful toy line from ZAG Lab and Playmates, distributed by Bandai.”

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir airs daily in Mexico on Televisa, which holds free-to-air rights, as well as Disney Channel and Disney+. The first three seasons of the series also stream on Netflix.

Miraculous has a huge social media fan base in Mexico with more than 3.8 million followers across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and Mexico is always amongst the top three countries with the most views of Miraculous on YouTube.

Immersive touring attraction to bring The World of Barbie to life

Posted on by

Kilburn Live, a specialist in branded live entertainment, has revealed a partnership with Mattel, Inc. for a new upcoming immersive attraction: World Of Barbie.

Created in partnership with the leading global toy company, Kilburn Live’s interactive exhibition will allow fans the unique opportunity to step directly into Barbie’s inspiring world, where they can explore her iconic Dreamhouse, walk down her neighbourhood streets into various interactive rooms, and even sit in her one-and-only, life-sized Camper Van, fabricated by the team at West Coast Customs.

World of Barbie launches this summer in Toronto, Canada. From Toronto, the attraction will travel to multiple cities across the United States, with anticipated markets including New York, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and more.

World of Barbie was designed for multiple generations to interact with and features several visually stunning activations inspired by some of Barbie’s most celebrated careers and playsets, including:

  • Barbie Dreamhouse – Explore intricately designed rooms and jaw-dropping photo ops in Barbie’s Dreamhouse, set on the beach in Malibu. Guests can start their own patio party complete with a DJ kit to mix their own music ‘poolside’.
  • Barbie Camper Van – Brought to life by Ryan Friedlinghaus and his team at West Coast Customs, World Of Barbie will feature a life-sized working Camper Van parked in front, allowing guests to climb in the driver’s seat, hang out in the hammock or look for several hidden surprises tucked away inside this ultimate road trip vehicle.
  • Fashion Studio – Walk the pink carpet and strike a pose inside one of six oversized iconic Barbie boxes.
  • TV Studio – LIVE from World of Barbie it’s The Barbie Show, where visitors become a news anchor delivering headlines in front of various TV studio backdrops, interviewing important guests or giving the weather report.
  • Space Center – Board a spacecraft and blast off in Barbie’s shuttle while enjoying the view of stars in the galaxy. Interact with mission control, track objects on the radar or use the audio transference device to listen to the various sounds of space.

World of Barbie will also house a themed Barbie café sharing the same Barbie aesthetics as the immersive attraction.

In addition, the attraction will celebrate the history of the beloved brand with a dedicated area where visitors can see Barbie’s evolution across multiple decades.

“We were asked to bring Barbie’s playset to life. Who can say no to that opportunity?” says Kilburn CEO Mark Manuel. “Barbie is as relevant today as she was when she was first introduced to the world 63 years ago, if not more. I watched my daughter live and play in her world, I believe it helped shape her sharp and lively imagination, just like it has for millions of other children growing up. So there were a lot of reasons we needed to get this right.”

“Throughout her history and numerous careers, Barbie has represented a world of limitless potential,” says Julie Freeland, Senior Director of Location Based Entertainment at Mattel. “With this exquisitely designed attraction we were intentional about delivering an exciting experience that would leave younger fans with the sense that they could do anything or be anything. And, for those who grew up with Barbie, we wanted to spark a little bit of nostalgia, give these fans a chance to step back, reinvent themselves, if only for an afternoon, and spend a day in the Dream Life!”

World of Barbie will kick off in Toronto this summer in a standalone space at Square One, Canada’s foremost fashion, lifestyle and entertainment destination, before travelling to multiple cities across the United States next year.

Tickets for the Toronto engagement go on sale on May 21, 2022. To register for Toronto tickets or receive information on future tour dates, visit www.theworldofbarbie.com

The announcement comes on the heels of Kilburn Live’s recent successful ventures in the live entertainment space with The Dr. Seuss Adventure, NERF Challenge and The Search For Snoopy: A Peanuts Adventure activations, with The Game Room: Powered By Hasbro set to open later this year. The company is also behind the hit NightGarden franchise in Miami, Florida and another in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Lisle Licensing to rep food influencer Lillie Farrow

Posted on by

Lisle Licensing has been appointed as the exclusive licensing agent for professional chef, mum of three and aspirational Instagram influencer Lillie Farrow.

The agency will represent Lillie in developing her brand and bringing to life her connection with young families, parents and foodies who are inspired by healthy eating, family connectivity, and a lifestyle that empowers strong physical and mental health.

Lillie started her career as a chef, and won the acclaimed Young Chef Award in 2011. However, as a mum to three young children, with a career and domestic responsibilities, she found it hard to combine a healthy personal lifestyle alongside feeding three young children. She joined Slimming World to lose weight and, having lost five and a half stone, started a blog to share her renewed love of cooking alongside her personal viewpoint on life as a mum.

Today Lillie has a following of more than 92k Instagram followers (increasing week on week), a website that delivers strong brand engagement, and partnerships that include the likes of Fujifilm, Tesco Food, Pyrex, Green & Black’s, and Osmo modern learning. Most recently she was a key partner in a live ‘Cooking and Lifestyle Show’ by Finish, alongside Bake Off star Manon Lagreve.

The appointment of Lisle Licensing sees Lillie embarking on a new journey, born from the blog which gave her a much-needed lifeline, and a vision to encourage her followers to “eat what you love, and look after your mind and body”.

Lisle’s initial licensing focus will be centred on publishing, which will aspire to Lillie’s loyal fan base, as well as kitchen tools for parents and children to use alongside one another, and healthy meal kits for babies, toddlers and families devised to make mealtimes fun and easy.

Francesca Lisle, MD at Lisle Licensing, says: “As a new mum myself, Lillie was someone that I could follow and take guidance from in areas I knew so little about and honestly found so daunting. Feeding your child with no experience is such a big thing, and you constantly worry if you are feeding them the right types of food, plus ensuring the rest of the family is fed.

“Lillie is so personable and down to earth, providing simple advice which resonated so well with me, I just knew there was a great opportunity for her to help new parents with her approachable style. We are already having so much fun with Lillie and her brand and can’t wait to share it with the wider market.”

Lillie adds: “I am so excited to be working with Lisle Licensing creating my own brand and product line. It has been a dream of mine to get more families and people cooking and I can’t wait to see my ideas and vision come to life.”

The launch has been supported by both partners including an on-air ad campaign on Animal Planet, a feature in the monthly issue of Animal Planet magazine, social media outreach and POS activity in stores where the range is on sale.

Jade Snart, Sustainability and Compliance Expert at George, says: “We’re extremely proud to have partnered with Animal Planet to launch an incredible range of children’s clothing this spring. It was clear from the beginning of the partnership that both George and Animal Planet share the same business values – trying to make our world greener!

“All of the products within the range have a sustainable element to them because at George we’re committed to doing the right thing by our customers and the planet.”

Ian Woods, SVP International Consumer Products at Warner Bros Discovery, adds: “We are extremely proud of this collaboration with George at Asda because it’s been a true partnership in delivering a clothing range that meets the objectives of both teams. The designs are fantastic, and we have high hopes this is just the beginning of a strong collaboration between Animal Planet and the George at Asda team.”

Toei Animation’s Dragon Ball hits record high for franchise licensing deals

Posted on by

Anime pioneer and industry-leading studio Toei Animation Inc., together with U.S. agent Crunchyroll, has released the latest Dragon Ball franchise report.

This annual report provides a comprehensive look at the success of their collective Dragon Ball licensing efforts, details both new license agreements and license renewals, and spotlights key licensee partnerships in select product categories.

Over the last 14 months, Toei Animation and Crunchyroll executed a record high total of 37 license agreements – consisting of 18 new licenses and 19 license renewals. The 18 new agreements will result in an exciting variety of merchandise for fans of “Dragon Ball,” “Dragon Ball Z”  and “Dragon Ball Super” series as well as, for the first time ever, “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero,” the new feature film scheduled for release this summer.

New branded goods include apparel from Bioworld, Hypland and NTD, statues and games from Oniri Creations and Mattel, plushies from Youtooz, housewares from Just Funky, stationery from Trends International and Insight Editions, and gifts and novelties from Monogram International and Hallmark.

The 19 license renewals provide agreement extensions for “Dragon Ball,” “Dragon Ball Z,” Dragon Ball GT” and “Dragon Ball Super” with a long list of current licensees including Party City, FIGPIN Collect Awesome, Boston America, Uncanny Brands, Bioworld and Trends International.

Apparel and accessories were once again top categories for the franchise. While demand for mass market apparel continues to be strong, streetwear has now become the hot consumer apparel segment – a trend that began in 2018 with Primitive Skateboarding’s highly successful “Primitive X Dragon Ball Z” collection and subsequent second collection “Primitive X Dragon Ball Super” in early 2021.

Closing out 2021, in December, DJ Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak fashion lifestyle brand followed suit with “Dim Mak X Dragon Ball Z,” a limited edition streetwear collection that included t-shirts, hoodies, bomber jackets, hats and tote bags. And now Los Angeles-based streetwear brand Hypland joins this list with a ground-breaking collection showcasing “Dragon Ball,” “Dragon Ball Z” and “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” and featuring a mix of apparel and merchandise including t-shirts, hoodies, outwear, skateboards, tapestries and bags.

Beyond apparel, in late 2021, FILA launched “Dragon Ball Super X FILA,” a limited footwear collection featuring seven character-inspired styles – a first for the “Dragon Ball Super” series and only the second footwear collection ever for the Dragon Ball franchise.

Created by Akira Toriyama and produced by Toei Animation, the Dragon Ball anime franchise is based on the “Dragon Ball” manga launched in 1984 and encompasses four TV series (“Dragon Ball,” “Dragon Ball Z,” “Dragon Ball GT” and “Dragon Ball Super”), 21 feature films (including the soon-to-be-released “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero”), home video, video games, and an ever-expanding catalogue of licensed merchandise ranging from apparel, accessories, toys, novelties, furniture, housewares and more.

Now, 37 years since the original manga’s launch, Dragon Ball has become an iconic brand with mainstream appeal. In recent years, Dragon Ball’s brand awareness and consumer demand has intensified as a result of major franchise initiatives like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In March, Dragon Ball franchise series “Dragon Ball,” “Dragon Ball Z” and “Dragon Ball GT” became available on Crunchyroll’s streaming service for the first time.

The list of new licensing agreements includes:

  • Bioworld: Global manufacturer of licensed apparel and accessories for a collection of apparel and fashion accessories based on “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero”, including t-shirts, fashion cut-and-sew tops, bottoms, leggings, sleepwear, vests, jackets, joggers, headwear, bags and accessories.

  • Hallmark Ornaments: Leading manufacturer of keepsake ornaments for a collection of ornaments based on “Dragon Ball Z.”
  • Hypland: Leading manufacturer of streetwear fashion and accessories for three collections of apparel and merchandise based on “Dragon Ball,” “Dragon Ball Z” and “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” including t-shirts, shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, outerwear, pants, shorts, bags, headwear, rugs, blankets, skateboards, inflatables, and keychains.
  • Insight Editions: Bestselling publisher of books and unique licensed products for a collection of merchandise based on “Dragon Ball Z”, including advent calendars, notebooks, journals, notecards, stationery and stationery sets.
  • Just Funky: Premiere manufacturer of licensed and private label merchandise for a collection of drinkware and homewares based on “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.”

  • RhinoShield: Manufacturer of ultra-impact protective accessories for two collections of consumer electronic cases based on “Dragon Ball Super” and “Dragon Ball Z.”
  • Surreal Entertainment: Leading manufacturer of fan-driven licensed merchandise for a collection of PAL-O pillows and candy based on “Dragon Ball Z.”
