Global licensing agency, WildBrain CPLG, is headed to Brand Licensing Europe 2022 (BLE) following a rapid period of growth. The agency has recently unveiled expansion across Asia Pacific, with new local offices in Singapore, Taipei and Seoul and an expanded team in Shanghai. It also launched its new ASPIRE division for Corporate & Lifestyle brands. The agency has continued to accelerate its representation portfolio, including WildBrain-owned properties, Strawberry Shortcake and Teletubbies, as part of its 360-approach to IP management across production, distribution and consumer products. 

Following the launch of the new Strawberry Shortcake animated series, “Berry in the Big City,” on Netflix earlier this year, as well as Season 2 dropping on YouTube this summer, WildBrain CPLG continues to expand the licensing program for both the new and classic versions of the brand. Meanwhile, Teletubbies is celebrating its 25th anniversary through colorful activity, such as a Pride-themed collaboration with Ellesse and GoGuy, and an appearance on “Britain’s Got Talent,” with new content in the pipeline. WildBrain brands include Chip & Potato, In the Night Garden and Inspector Gadget.  

Classic brand, Peanuts, will also feature following WildBrain CPLG’s recent addition of rights in India and Asia Pacific, building on its long-standing Peanuts licensing relationship across EMEA. The brand continues to grow, with fresh collections and new content on Apple TV+.
