April 6, 2018
In 2010, Brand Licensing Europe broke all previous attendance records with a total of 5,634 visitors, an increase of 16 percent over the previous year. With overseas numbers up 37 percent, the show continues to reinforce its position as the leading event for the European licensing industry. This year, more than 6,000 retail buyers, licensees, consumer goods manufacturers, ad agencies and sales promotion professionals are expected to attend from over 60 countries. The show will again host the film screening suite and the Licensing Academy conference program, as well as the Retail Mentoring Programme and the License This! licensing challenge.
The Retail Mentoring Programme
Brand Licensing Europe's unique Retail Mentoring Programme is back for its second year in 2011, with 10 junior and assistant members of the buying teams from Sainsbury and Mothercare taking part. The Retail Mentoring Programme was introduced
The program was very successful last year and both retailers have increased their number of participants in 2011. A morning of seminars, tailored specifically to the requirements of this year's mentees, has been added to the program.
The Licensing Academy
This year's academy will grapple with a number of "hot" topics.
The keynote speaker is Michael Acton Smith, the creator of Moshi Monsters and founder of Mind Candy.
His story is a fascinating one: Mind Candy nearly ran out of investor cash before implementing one last idea for a children's online game. That online game became Moshi Monsters–a huge hit with children racking up more than 50 million users worldwide that keeps kids busy nurturing their adopted monsters and doing puzzles and quests to earn "rox" to exchange for things to keep their monster happy, fed and comfortable.
What Moshi Monsters has achieved in the last year is to bring the concept out of its online existence and into the real world with products. Starting with a magazine (self-published), trading cards and books, the program changed gears with the launch of Moshi toys in January. Mind Candy now has the challenge of keeping the brand alive both on and off screen.
Acton Smith's address will be an entertaining one, for the story of Moshi is a good story and he is its most passionate advocate. However, his message about creating concepts and products for a generation of kids that was born into the digital age is one that will be essential to hear. Acton Smith thinks this is a pivotal moment in the history of kids' entertainment and also in the history of licensed products. Don't miss him at 1 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 18, in the Licensing Academy's London Room.
The Licensing Academy also tackles the Russian market this year, one of the most complex and exciting of the emerging European markets. Russia's heady mix of scale and increasing consumer affluence makes it highly appealing. But this is a region that takes a long time to master. Brand Licensing Europe has an expert panel lined up, and attendees can expect a combination of facts and figures about the retail landscape as well as some hands-on insight into starting and building a successful licensing program in this region. The full Licensing Academy program can be seen at

License This!
Brand Licensing Europe's licensing challenge, License This!, is open for entries. Launched in 2010, this challenge encourages new creative talent and recognizes the huge number of creative people who come to Brand Licensing Europe each year hoping to pitch their concepts to potential licensing executives. Last year's winner, a graphic design concept called Animaru, will be exhibiting on the show floor this year. The three other 2010 finalists have evolved their brands over the last year with deals and new partnerships, which attendees will see evidence of again at Brand Licensing Europe: the boys' action series "Bondiband;" Gombby the Portuguese baker boy; and the online story concept Made in Me.
The License This! panel for 2011 will be chaired by Andrew Kerr of Aoh!k (and previously of Classic Media and Ragdoll) with Oliver Dyer of design company Skew, Eric Huang from Penguin and Patricia de Wilde of Marathon Media.
You can enter the challenge now (via the Brand Licensing Europe website) if you have a new intellectual property concept that has its roots in publishing, art and design, digital media or television.
The short list of four concepts will be drawn up in mid-September and then pitched to the License This! panel on Oct. 20 in the Licensing Academy. In addition to the excitement of hearing about four new ideas, attendees also get to hear the panel's advice, critique and expertise. The winner receives a walk-on stand at Brand Licensing Europe 2012 so that they may bring their concept back to market.
New to Brand Licensing Europe 2011
New exhibitors this year include the Spanish confectionery brand Chupa Chups, the French broadcaster TF1 (introducing Barbapapa), Universal Studios Consumer Products and DHX Media. Live Nation, Tiesto (The Movement International, a major DJ) and Big Tent Entertainment also debut, as does the new TV company HoHo Entertainment and Ideas at Work, the home of Olly the White Van. Sports companies IBML and Amaury Sport Organisation, the organizers of the Tour de France, join the show floor for the first time. Fashion companies Maui & Sons and Stupid Factory are also here to make inaugural Brand Licensing Europe appearances. A number of companies have significantly increased their stand size including Nickelodeon Consumer Products, Lisle International (the Zhu Zhu Pets), Saban International and Glow Europe (which introduces Bumpeez this year).
The French Pavilion
Organized by the French licensing association F2D2, the French Pavilion brings some exciting new exhibitors to Brand Licensing Europe this year. The Moulin Rouge has a vibrant and upscale licensing program; Editions Albert-Rene introduces Asterix, hero of the books by Goscinny and Uderzo; and the television companies Moonscoop, Alphanim and France Television will also exhibit.
Brand Licensing Europe is a tremendous celebration of the old and the new. Crazes (or collectibles as they would rather be called) are likely to be hot on the show floor this year, and digital media will prove itself as a sound breeding ground for new properties–new digital properties to license include Beanstalk's representation, Talking Friends. Brand Licensing Europe also remains the most comprehensive place to review the opportunities presented by the U.K.'s art, design and heritage sector. No one doubts that retail conditions remain very tough and that this is no time to take ill-considered risks. But this is good news for strong, established brands and good news for well thought out new properties. Current indications are that Brand Licensing Europe 2011 will produce another eye opening and profitable three days of business.
