Beanstalk now plans to leverage Chupa Chups’ unique heritage to extend the brand into a range of lifestyle categories including apparel, personal care, video games, apps, sporting goods, home textiles, stationery, gifts and pet accessories.
“Chupa Chups is a truly international brand as a result of its global awareness and emotional link to a diverse group of consumers,” says Marta Ballesteros, senior brand manager, licensing, Chupa Chups. “We are thrilled to be expanding our licensing program into another important market.
