Brands Untapped

The Brands Untapped Creative Guide profiles 14 different studios and is also available to pick up at BLE from the Brands Untapped booth – E175.

The new magazine – celebrating the creativity and design-thinking of the licensing industry – will be distributed at the Vegas Licensing Expo in May.

Taking place on Monday, September 19th at ExCeL London – the eve of BLE 2022 – the Brand Design Conference will explore the creativity and design thinking behind brand extensions.

A collaboration between Mojo Nation and The Toy Association, the experience-rich space will take place at New York Toy Fair 2022, with activations highlighting how toy and game brands are making waves in other industries through creative brand extensions.

We caught up with Michele to find out more about her plans for the iconic toy brand – and why she believes great design is the key to creating magic when it comes to licensing.

“The licensing industry has such a rich pool of creative design talent across lots of sectors, so we’re excited to dive in and celebrate the brilliant work being done,” said Mojo Nation’s Billy Langsworthy.

This week, we’re catching up with Ian Downes, Director at Start Licensing and co-founder of Brands Untapped, a brand new experiential licensing event launching in March 2021.
