Total Licensing UK Launches!

Welcome to the latest magazine in the Total Licensing portfolio!

As Brand Licensing Europe 2011 fast approaches, we would like to introduce you to our brand new magazine, Total Licensing UK, which is available to view digitally, with the printed edition hitting your desks next week.

This new magazine, which will be available at the show as a standalone copy, and will also be inserted into the main Total Licensing Autumn/Fall issue so that all of our 80,000 readers will be able to read it, takes an in-depth look at the comprehensive UK market, with breaking news, company profiles, brand updates, a look at British licensees, and much more, plus our biggest ever BLE preview to date.

It is important to us at Total Licensing to ensure that our readers are kept up to date with what is happening in the industry, and this is one of the reasons we launched the new magazine. There will be further territory-specific magazines added to our growing portfolio over the course of the next year as well.

You can view Total Licensing UK here:



The Total Licensing Autumn/Fall issue is also available digitally, and printed copies will reach you by next week as well.

In this issue, we have an in-depth look at the huge global trend for 'nostalgia' and all that encompasses, sports branding and licensing, breaking news, opinions from industry executives, spotlights on Russia and Japan, and much, much more.

You can also pick up this issue at BLE - it's one of our biggest to date - and view it by following this link:
