“We’re delighted to be working on Baby Jake which has all the early signs of a successful pre-school property," says Julie Kekwick, senior licensing manager BBC Worldwide. "Our strategy has been to sign-up world-class partners across formats and working closely with Darrall Macqueen, we’re delighted that Vivid are on board and look forward to further conversations at Licensing Expo next week.”
