> The Extraordinary adventures of Jules Verne<br />
licensing agent for The Extraordinary Adventures of Jules Verne, a<br />
new TV show coming in 2013.<br />
We are also now representing Beast Keeper, a new TV show from<br />
Mondo TV in Italy.<br />
K.: Why did you create 4sight?<br />
S.V-C: 4sight licensing solutions was established in 2006 in order to<br />
create a division within 4Kids that could reach new age groups such<br />
as teens, adults and families as well as extend into new categories.<br />
The brand extension strategy and business model are both very<br />
different due to the positioning of 4sight brands, which cover lifestyle,<br />
fashion, art and trademarks.<br />
We have already enjoyed considerable success with this remit;<br />
having creative and talented people within 4sight who<br />
are experienced in working with brands aimed at an<br />
older demographic puts us one step ahead of other less<br />
specialised agencies.<br />
K.: Which properties are under 4sight?<br />
S.V-C: 4sight licensing solutions represents Chicaloca,<br />
The Kennel Club and Crufts, Artlist Collection: The Dog<br />
and Friends and Pachanga.<br />
Chicaloca is an aspirational fashion brand that is proving<br />
particularly successful, with toiletries, cosmetics, gift and<br />
accessories lines from various licensees having recently<br />
launched across all BHS stores - a leading department<br />
store in the UK and Ireland.<br />
Artlist Collection: The Dog and Friends is also experiencing<br />
ongoing success. In spring this year (2012) GIFI - a leading<br />
mass-market retailer in France - will launch a huge range of<br />
The Dog products that will really connect with consumers and<br />
boost the retail presence of the brand.<br />
In addition, we have built up a very strong licensing<br />
programme for The Kennel Club and Crufts with a<br />
wide range of pet products. We are focussing on all pet<br />
owners including children, through which we reach a new<br />
target demographic and ensure the next generation of pet<br />
owners identifies strongly with both brands.<br />
