In the country of global licensing<br />

When a brand earns international recognition, the<br />

way it is perceived varies depending whether the<br />

target is Bombay or Barcelona! How can a globally<br />

tailor-made program be developed?<br />

Nobody can overlook globalization and certainly not<br />

licensing professionals. Nowadays developments are<br />

often international. To take but a few examples:<br />

Ratatouille, SpongeBob or the brand Jeep all have<br />

international strategies. However, solid organization<br />

and good planning are required to produce a Perrier<br />

drinking glass for France and a cell phone with virtual<br />

bubbles for Japan. When firms want to get<br />

established on a foreign market they open<br />

representations abroad and/or hire agents. How does<br />

a worldwide licensing program begin? And how can a<br />

global approach provide leeway for local specifics?<br />

Overall licenses and<br />

domestic licenses<br />

Licensing is a top marketing tool for manufacturers. It<br />

is also an international development tool. Says Gérard<br />

Pina, Marketing Director of CTI, a firm specialized in<br />

licensed house linen for children on the European<br />

market, «the standardization of taste is the basis of<br />

licensing». When we are active on French, German or<br />

Spanish markets and we put the Disney logo on our<br />

products, it tends to homogenize the demand for an<br />

age target. On the other side of the Rhine or the<br />

Pyrenees little boys are mad about Cars! However,<br />

some properties ever cross borders so to say. Gérard<br />

Pina points out that: «we also work on local licenses.<br />

For instance, Janosch or Lillifee are characters based<br />

on children's publishing in Germany that target<br />

exclusively the local market». Buying power levels,<br />

buying patterns, seasonal logic... local specifics are<br />

blatant. To build a worldwide licensing program they<br />

must be taken into account.<br />

Universal storytellers<br />

Philippe Lavoué, VP Sales, Retail & Mktg of Disney<br />

Consumer Products, explains: «Franchise priorities<br />

are established at the highest level of our company.<br />

Afterwards, all of the local divisions (TV, Cinema,<br />

Park…) hold regular meetings to coordinate the<br />

procedures». He goes on: «our creative teams tell<br />

stories with high international potential that outlive<br />

generations».
