Brand Licensing Europe

The session – chaired by Brands Untapped’s Billy Langsworthy – welcomed WildBrain CPLG’s Michael Ogunseitan, Skew’s Oliver Dyer and The Roald Dahl Story Company’s Stephanie Griggs.

The competition’s Product Design category saw students enter Wallace & Gromit concepts, with Penny Kyriacou emerging triumphant for her ‘Invent-A-Cards’ game.

The Brands Untapped 100, in association with Brand Licensing Europe,  is a celebration of the 100 top designers, product developers and creatives in the brand licensing industry who have excelled over the last 12 months.

Areas being covered includes the importance of disruption, whether creatives are valued in the licensing industry, the relationship between commercial and creative teams – and lots more!

The book – celebrating creatives and designers working in brand licensing – will be available to pick at from the Brands Untapped stand at F154.

“We have done everything possible to reduce disruption to our visitors, exhibitors and contractors,” said Anna Knight, SVP Licensing at Informa Markets.

“Set as a closer to BLE’s three-day fashion theme, the Culture & Unity runway show is the one to watch,” said Saphia Maxamed, founder of Black Lives Matter Licensing.

This year’s event will now take place virtually, with content released throughout the last week of November.

As one of last year’s winners, Wayne won a free exhibition stand at BLE 2022. We caught up to find out more about his plans for next month’s show.

Anyone who is registered for BLE can use the online planner to search for license-ready brands and the exhibitors who represent them – and book meetings through the Matchmaking function.
