The awards ceremony, sponsored by Brand Licensing Europe and supported by LIMA, was hosted by comedian Rory Bremner. Ceremony guests were welcomed by Acamar Films’ Bing and Flop before walking through an entranceway commemorating 60 years of Barbie. Prior to the show, guests saw the world licensing premiere of “Moon and Me” from Sutikki.
“These awards exist only because of you, whether you are a retailer, a licensor, licensee or a supplier,” says Jakki Brown, joint managing director, Max Publishing. “Licensing, to be successful, needs everyone to work together.
