Koko Rose Media has teamed up with the American independent brand company Licensing Works! on the arts and lifestyle property Deer Little Forest, to develop new licensing and publishing strategies for the brand. The agreement was finalised at BLE 2019, and will see the partnership kick off at ABC Kids Expo …

The broad-based deal will see the companies work together to exploit current licensing and publishing assets across traditional category lines, as well as create new content for various platforms, kicking off with publishing.

The deal - one brokered by the Tokyo-based Honmoku File and headed up by Nobutaka Nagai, a former agent for Disney’s park attractions in Japan, has been billed as a ‘tremendous testament to the power of Deer Little Forest’s appeal in the region.’

The new agreement will a first line of high-end home accessories, including clocks, peg hooks, chalkboards, wall hangers, door signs and vinyl wall stickers enter the UK market.

The far-ranging agreement will see Honmoku File introduce and establish the brand – created by Jo Rose – in Japan as a high-end, long-term property across licensing and publishing.

The new titles have been developed with Ingrid Selberg Consulting, a new outfit headed by the former managing director of Simon & Schuster’s Children’s Division, Ingrid Selberg.

The new partnership brings the arts and lifestyle property's global licensing network to a total of 27 countries.

“Olala Lamps has made a beautiful quality product that will set the groundwork for others licensees to follow."

Deer Little Forest will evolve as a separate lifestyle brand.

The deal will see Bejuba! in charge of both TV sales and co-production opportunities worldwide, excluding the UK.
