Jo Rose, creator of the U.K. brand Deer Little Forest, has appointed Think Tank Emporium as licensing agent for the brand in the U.S. and Canada.

Think Tank will represent all licensing rights in the territory (excluding TV and publishing, which are managed by Koko Media).

Launched as a licensing brand at Brand Licensing Europe in 2013, the property has generated a number of deals over the last year including several international stationery deals, an apparel deal and the launch of 16 card designs across the U.K. at Paperchase.

The brand is also being developed into a preschool picture book series, with the first title due out this summer, and a TV series.

Worldwide rights (excluding the U.S. and Canada) are managed by Koko Media.
