“Brand Licensing Europe is one of the industry’s premier events, and I am honored to be part of this year’s program,” says Kaufman. “2018 was a pivotal year in retail and also a year of big changes at Viacom/Nickelodeon Consumer Products, as we became one globally unified team earlier this year. At VNCP, we have been meeting the changing retail landscape head-on, reinventing everything from the content and products we make, to how we market and to whom.”

BLE organizers have unveiled the full seminar program online, which features more than 50 licensing experts delivering 30 sessions across the Brands & Lifestyle Theatre and Licensing Academy. This year’s content covers everything from the latest innovations in food and beverage licensing to gaming, heritage, preschool, fashion, sustainability and more. Seminars can be accessed at www.BrandLicensing.eu/Agenda.

“In the Brands & Lifestyle Theatre, National Geographic’s Helena Mansell-Stopher will present a thought-provoking session on ethical licensing; Sanrio will discuss the creation of Little Miss Inventor and how it has capitalized successfully on the battle to get girls involved in STEM subjects; Richard Pink has a great session on driving value from promotional licensing, plus, we’ll have three food and beverage sessions with great case studies from licensees and licensors, including Chupa Chups,” says Anna Knight, brand director, BLE.

“Meanwhile in the Licensing Academy, in addition to Pam’s keynote, LIMA UK managing director Kelvyn Gardner is planning a fantastic global licensing session featuring the LIMA Chapter Heads; the Moomin team will tell us all about the new Moominvalley animation and Billy Langsworthy from Mojo Nation is back with a Playing with Brands panel and a fireside chat with Tech Will Save Us. We also have our keynote on the IOC’s new licensing strategy,” says Knight. “I would strongly advise visitors to arrive early–these sessions are going to be popular and busy.”

“Our session will show how we are bringing a 130-year-old brand with a rich scientific history to life through consumer products, with a key focus on driving sustainable, biodegradable materials and products which help protect the future of the planet,” says Helena Mansell-Stopher, director, U.K. licensing, National Geographic.

Marika Makaroff, creative director and executive producer, Gutsy Animations, and Sophia Jansson, creative director, Moomin Characters, will present “The Moominvalley Animation Series–creating a brand-new take on a beloved heritage brand” in the Licensing Academy at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday.

"In our seminar, we’ll take BLE visitors on tour behind the scenes of the upcoming animated family TV drama Moominvalley, which will premiere worldwide in 2019,” says Makaroff and Jansson via a joint statement. “We’ll tell them how Gutsy Animations is creating a new take on the beloved Moomins created by Tove Jansson, using brand-new innovative techniques in 3-D CGI and working with the best talent in the entertainment industry. We’ll share what we’ve learned about how to create a new visual style and storylines that work for artistic and merchandise purposes while staying true to the originals loved by millions of dedicated fans all around the world.”

Nigeria - Federal Palace Hotel witnessed an incredible fun-filled experience at the second edition of Nickelodeon's family festival NickFest Nigeria on the 29th and 30th September. The event which had over 4,000 kids in attendance is one that attendees will not forget in a hurry!

Hosted by the very friendly and hilarious duo of IK Osakioduwa and Nigeria’s Got Talent winner Amarachi the event was all shades of fun as kids were excited seeing their favourite animated Nickelodeon’s superstar characters live such as SpongeBob Squarepants, Adventure Bay’s intrepid pups, Skye, Rubble Marshall and Chase from Paw Patrol, the energetic Dora the Explorer with her animal rescuer cousin, Diego and her best pal, Boots to everyone’s favourite genies, Shimmer and Shine and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The two-day extravaganza kids event, was a blend of loads of fun and good music from Africa’s adored A-list music acts such as MI, Simi, Adekunle Gold and Mayorkun who satisfactorily entertained the children, parents and fun lovers with some of their family-friendly songs which of course got the whole venue in an endless sing-along. Nickfest’s Host, Ik Osakioduwa, co-hosts Amarachi and Mannie from Cool fm as well as other celebrities in attendance, got slimed several times over to raise awareness and funds for indigent Children’s Trust project.

They all slithered around and bathed in thousands of litres of gloriously gooey slime in the legendary slime zone. The venue was transformed into a beautiful wonderland for the kids with amazing toys, fun game and activities, and plenty of colour, notably Nickelodeon's traditional bright orange which helped achieve a beautiful, fun-friendly and relaxing ambience.

Speaking at the venue of the event, Alex Okosi, Executive Vice President (EVP) and Managing Director (MD) VIMN Africa, owners of Nickelodeon, said: “Over the years, Nickelodeon has entertained families world over. With NickFest in Nigeria, we have translated our hugely popular and family-centric TV entertainment content to an event experience that resonates with audiences. We had an incredible show of support from parents and kids at the 1st edition last year and this 2nd edition turn out for Nickfest in Nigeria has gained even more fans. At VIMN Africa, we are grateful for the valued support from our partner Maltina and the new associate sponsors in bringing NickFest to Lagos again.”

NickFest thrilled kids and parents alike thanks to Nickelodeon in partnership with Maltina in association with Indomie & DStv. #NickFestNG

Chilean Entertainer Carolina Mestrovic Cast in New Nickelodeon Show [Updated]

Chilean singer, actor and TV host Carolina Mestrovic has been cast in a brand-new Nickelodeon show!


Mestrovic rose to fame when she appeared on television in 2008 in the Chilean program Rojo fama contrafama (Red, the Value of Talent), where she won in the Singers category and received a car as her reward. She subsequently joined Chilevisión's youth program Yingo, which also showcased her singing talent. In 2010 she competed on Yingo and won second place, collecting a CL$1,000,000 prize. In December 2010 she participated in Yingo′s "great challenge" as a couple with Jaime Artus.

Mestrovic has since worked on many various programmes on the Chilean television network, where she is currently the host of Sabingo.

However, the 27-year-old all-round star will be travelling with her daughter Julieta to Miami, Florida in the USA in October 2018 to shoot a brand-new Nickelodeon series at Viacom International Studios!

Mestrovic went through several audition processes, competing with talents from around the world, before landing the role.

No further information about Mestrovic's latest project or her character has been revealed, however, filming for the production is expected to be completed in February 2019.

Although the name of new Nickelodeon show that Mestrovic will be starring in and her role have yet to be revealed, it is thought that it may be Club 57 for Nickelodeon Latin America (Latinoamérica).

Club 57 is a brand-new time-travelling themed series that tells the story of a 14-year-old tech loving girl who accidentally travels back in time. Stuck in the past, she discovers her passion for music, and falls in love. The first season of Club 57 will feature 75 60 one-hour episodes. Nickelodeon is producing the series with Rainbow Group (Winx Club, Regal Academy, 44 Cats, Mia and me, Maggie & Bianca Fashion Friends).

However, Mestrovic's new project doesn't mean that the entertainer will be leaving CHV. The station has granted her a special permit to be absent while she is recording her new show in the United States last. When filming has commenced, she'll be able to resume hosting duties on Yingo.
