- Creative Artists Agency, Bravado and Mind Candy strengthen show roster
Advanstar Communications announced the addition of top entertainment and
sports agencies Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and Bravado to the exhibition
show floor, while the Moshi Monster phenomenon continues to gather momentum.
CAA represents many of the most successful professionals working in film,
television, music, theatre, video games, sports, and the Internet, and
provides a range of strategic marketing and consulting services to corporate
clients. CAA's clients include actors, actresses, writers, directors,
producers, musicians, and other influential artists and executives, in
addition to more than 650 of the world's top athletes in football, baseball,
basketball, hockey, soccer, tennis, golf, and beyond.
Gary Krakower, Agent for CAA Licensing commented: "For several years, we
have seen the attendance of international licensees and retailers at
Licensing Show grow exponentially. We believe that the Licensing Show
provides an efficient and effective platform to meet with potential partners
from around the globe to identify and cultivate opportunities on behalf of
our world-renowned clients."
Entertainment giant Bravado - who recently confirmed a lucrative tie up
with Universal - also joins the impressive line-up.
Felix Sebacious, Senior Vice President, Bravado said: "The Licensing show
has proved to be an excellent showcase for Bravado's Global licensing
programs. With a roster of musical superstar talents like Justin Bieber, Lady
Gaga, Eminem, Rihanna, the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Jackie Evancho,
Queen and a multitude of others, the show has allowed Licensee's from around
the world, access to Bravado's Licensing team."
Michael Acton Smith, CEO of Mind Candy added: "We're really excited to be
exhibiting at this year's Licensing Expo. With over two million new
registrations each month Moshi's popularity is soaring and we're looking to
expand our licensing program within the UK and the US to meet growing demand.
With a rapidly expanding user base, a movie deal in the works and the recent
announcement of Moshi TV, licensing opportunities couldn't be more exciting."
With the show floor now bigger than last year, visitors to this year's
show can expect to be treated to the latest property and product launches
with over 90 new exhibitors now on board.
