TURNER TURNS UP THE HEAT IN CHINA During 2019, Turner China has adopted a full-speed-ahead mode to build its IP. Having laid a solid platform of awareness during the past few years for franchises such as Tuzki, The Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10 and We Bare Bears, the next step is to go all-out to secure even more licensing and content partners. “It’s a great time for us in China.There are plenty of licensing opportunities and channels to explore,” said Lisa Li, who heads up the Cartoon Network and Tuzki business in China.

Recent key collaborations have focused on the young-adult demo and have included offerings for Cartoon Network merchandise at retailers of scale including Miniso, who also have a growing presence internationally. By tying up with heavyweight partners including Alibaba to support on-theground events, Cartoon Network has helped create an even bigger impact and enriched fan experiences. Likewise, by emphasising social media and rising stars and influencers, brand affinity for its TV shows and videos has escalated.

China’s youth are watching and engaging with the network’s original shows in increasingly large numbers, through its many content licensing deals with the country’s leading video-on-demand platforms. Brand awareness has also grown thanks to content production projects, particularly with strategic partners including Tencent. For example, an animated series featuring the digital rabbit IP – Tuzki – is on the way, and he’s also been cleverly embedded into an upcoming Chinese drama called Second Time is a Charm. Tuzki will feature in a Tencent-produced theatrical movie, and can even be seen incorporated in the designs from international fashion designers such as Manish Arora (who launched his Tuzki range during last year’s Paris Fashion Week) and through apparel companies like GXG Kids. A similar tactic using Cartoon Network IP embedded into popular TV shows U Can U Bibi and Story Kids has also proved incredibly rewarding.

中国的机遇在 2019 年期间，Turner China 采用全速前进模式来打造其 IP。在过去几年里，Tuzki、The Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10 和 We Bare Bears 等特许经营权奠定了坚实的知名度平台，下一步是全力以赴争取更多授权和内容合作伙伴。 “这是我们在中国的荣光时刻。有大量的授权机会和渠道可供探索”负责 Cartoon Network 和 Tuzki 在中国的业务的 Lisa Li 表示“找到出色的合作伙伴对于这项

Oddbods 曾两次获得最佳儿童动画奖提名，自 5 年前第一次进入电视屏幕以来，其全球足迹迅速扩张。现在，利用 80 多家广播公司给 180 个国家/地区的家庭带去欢乐，凭借 1400 万的 YouTube 订阅用户和 120 亿观看次数，Oddbods 已经风靡全球，现在所有的目光都牢牢锁定在中国。中国现在将获得该工作室的大量关注和资源： Oddbods 由中国主流国家广播公司中央电视台和湖南广播系统 OTT 平台芒果电视播出，已在全国范围内获得关注，这主要得益于其长期战略合作伙伴 CMC Inc.（中国领先的媒体和娱乐集团）。自去年 8 月以来，中央电视台已经多次播放七分钟格式的第 1 季和第 2 季，并且在节目于平台上取得成功后，该节目的 2 个角色被邀请登上中央电视台闪亮的年度儿童节联欢晚会，向全国 8000 万粉丝直播。同时，主要数字平台芒果电视已经播出了 7 分钟剧集的系列 2，以及去年由 The Story Lab 促成的 22 分钟圣诞节特别节目。7 分钟格式的系列 3 以及另外两个季节性特别节目也将在他们的平台上独家播出。

NEW PLUSH RANGE FOR SIMON’S CAT The hugely successful animated comedy series, Simon’s Cat, is enjoying new found popularity in China and most recently has launched a plush range with local agent Block 12. Simon’s Cat and his friend Kitten have been produced as plush toys in the region for the first time. Supported by a series of online marketing and events, fans can get the toys via claw machines in LLJ Store, a chain claw machine store run by Block 12 across the country. In August, Block 12’s claw-machine store brand LLJ welcomed the first range of Simon’s Cat plush, receiving a positive response from fans. The plush range is part of Block 12’s new merchandise brand BC12 which launched this year. BC12 will develop further Simon’s Cat merchandise later this year. Over the past 12 months, Simon’s Cat has launched its official accounts on Chinese social media platforms, including Weibo and Douyin, generating more than 1 million followers, 1 bil-

lion short video views and 20 million picture and text views. Popular mobile game Simon’s Cat Dash has launched China and is available for both iOS and

Android, and a series of digital stickers have also been released on WeChat, Sogou and Meitu. William Tan, Managing Director of Endemol Shine China, commented, “We’ve been working with Block 12 closely over the past 12 months. With our efforts, Simon’s Cat is successfully exploring its own ‘territory’ in China step by step and the plush toys are an extremely effective way for Simon’s Cat to reach to a broader audience.” In a latest industry report from China Toy & Juvenile Products Association, the most popular brand licensing products among Chinese consumers are apparel, toys and recreation and digital products. 55.2% of the questionnaire respondents voted for toys and recreation. The report also reveals that most of the consumers (47.7%) are willing to buy brand licensing products because of their unique design style.

PBS HAS A STRONG PUBLISHING BASE IN CHINA PBS KIDS, the number one educational media brand for kids in the United States, is growing the licensing program for beloved animated children’s series Arthur, in anticipation of its upcoming 25th anniversary. As part of this celebration, Arthur’s live stage show will launch, and several new partnerships are being signed, both to expand to more product categories and to grow Arthur’s reach globally. And as a book-based property, Arthur already has a strong publishing program in China. In addition to publishing, Arthur has had some exciting product launches recently and coming soon that include play houses, food containers, footwear, apparel, accessories, and plush toys. PBS KIDS is open to proposals from new licensees with strong retail relationships. “Our aim is to bring together top series properties, like Arthur, with top licensees in China to facilitate brand licensing agreements that will build stronger partnerships and connect the right brands to the right products, further expanding the ways in which people can learn from and interact with PBS KIDS and our characters,” said Dawn Ciccone, VP,

Brand Licensing, PBS. Based on the best-selling books by Marc Brown, Arthur premiered in

1996 and is now America’s longestrunning children’s animated series. This longevity means fans include early elementary school age children of today, as well as adults who re-

member growing up with Arthur and are still fans. Arthur has over 240 halfhour episodes and is distributed in 83 countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, the UK, and throughout Asia. The show chronicles the adventures of eightyear-old aardvark, Arthur, through engaging, emotional stories that explore issues faced by real kids, telling these stories from a kid’s point of view without moralizing or talking down. Situations on Arthur develop in realistic ways, and don’t always turn out as Arthur and his friends might expect. Arthur has won multiple awards, including the George Foster Peabody Award, a BAFTA, 4 Parents’ Choice Awards and seven Daytime Emmys-four for Outstanding Children’s Animated Program. It recently won the Television Critics’ Association award for Outstanding Achievement in Youth Programming. Arthur is one of several children’s properties represented by its U.S. broadcaster, PBS KIDS. PBS KIDS attends several major industry shows, including New York Toy Fair, Fall Toy Preview and Licensing Expo. PBS KIDS hosts a booth every year at Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, where partners’ interest in Arthur and the 25th anniversary continues to grow.

Discovery’s Expanding Business in China consumer business, China is a great example of how the strong Discovery brand awareness transcends linear television.” Discovery Expedition launched in China and Korea in 2012. Today, it is a $300 million retail business in Korea with apparel and accessories, 205 retail stores and e-commerce across lifestyle performance and active lines. “Asia is the fastest growing region for the outdoor apparel market,” continued Tony Qui. “We’re planning expansion into other Asian territories from 2020.” Of course theme parks are also

Tony Qui, Discovery’s GM of Greater China and Korea

Discovery is the global leader in real-life entertainment, with passion brands that have an international presence both on and off the screen. To find out more about Discovery’s growing business in China, Total Licensing China talked to Tony Qui, General Manager of Greater China and Korea. “Discovery’s licensing business in China is vast and only continuing to expand,” explained Tony Qui. “Discovery holds an interesting position in China. It has huge brand equity. While there is no linear Discovery Channel, the brand awareness is strong via consumer products, as well as the production and selling of content to Chinese TV distributors. Discovery is synonymous with trusted documentaries, as well as STEM and survival themed content. This allows Discovery’s licensing team to develop strong partnerships that cross over both content and retail categories.” Discovery’s licensing business in China began a few years ago and is currently driven by apparel, with a huge piece of that business being Discovery Expedition (DX).

In China, DX is worth $30 million at retail throughout 108 stores and an e-commerce site. DX has also begun its expansion into the kids and publishing business. Asia is the fastest growing region for outdoor apparel, and China is just one example of what the Discovery brand can do throughout the region. In addition to the successful apparel business, Discovery is moving into partnerships with credit cards with both Chinese and global banks. Discovery theme parks in China have consumer products available for purchase at on-site stores. Discovery is also expanding into more kids’ apparel, toys and pet businesses. Additionally, Discovery launched a cosmetic partnership with Perfect Diary, which now has the number one eyeshadow in TMALL stores. As new categories and new brands come into the market from the global Discovery business, the licensing team in China is taking advantage of those opportunities. “Our goal with the licensing business in China is to deliver a physical product to consumers that encompasses the spirit of Discovery.” Continued Tony Qui. “The business is based on the team’s ability to identify areas of growth in the market and match that to Discovery’s brand perception with consumers. It is also based on partnerships with reliable and trusted brands. With the growing Discovery direct-to-

important. “We already have a theme park being built in China,” continued Tony Qui. “And we are looking to build more indoor parks that will include toy stores with consumer products.” Whilst the focus has generally been on adult apparel, Discovery is also looking at the children’s apparel market and is currently talking to potential partners. China, clearly, is a massive potential market for Discovery. “We have a great strategy,” continued Tony Qui. “We are very careful to find reliable partners that complement the strength of our brands. Our presence is continually expanding through TV sales and social media and the digital side, which is so important in China, is growing tremendously. We’re very excited about the future of our brand programmes in China. The opportunities are extraordinary.”

V&A 在中国推出微信帐户 V&A 是一个具有国际吸引力的品牌，致力于在全球市场范围发展商业业务，其中一个主要地区是东亚。V&A 一直在与他们在中国的独家代理 Alfilo Brands 合作，推动他们雄心勃勃的计划，包括授权、零售合作以及在整个地区开设快闪店。去年，它们在东亚地区的被授权方数量增加了 15%。作为 V&A 在该地区提升品牌知名度战略的一部分，该公司已在中国开设了专门的社交媒体帐户。今年 6 月，他们在微信上推出了 V&A 帐户。微信是一款中国多功能通讯、社交媒体和移动支付应用。该平台由张小龙于 2010 年底在腾讯广州研究中心开发，2011 年初上线，目前是最受欢迎的社交媒体平台之一。为了庆祝他们今年早些时候推出的新帐户，V&A 安排了一次独家采访，采访对象是他们的副总监兼首席运营官 Tim Reeve，本次采访将在该频道上发布。Tim Reeve 列出了参观者参观 V&A 的主要原因，并重点介

Every Age, Every Aisle, Everywhere! Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Product’s (VNCP) key strategy is ‘Every Age, Every Aisle, Everywhere’ – a mantra that refers to the company’s goal to create the best products across multiple demographics and retail distribution channels. The strategy applies around the world, including the important Chinese marketplace which is growing rapidly. In China, Nickelodeon is home to franchises that children love including SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, PAW Patrol and, more recently, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Together with the MTV brand, VNCP truly covers Every Age, Every Aisle, Everywhere. Across China, Nickelodeon has more than 50 shows with thousands of episodes available on both digital and linear platforms. Such is the importance of the market that for the first time, Nickelodeon Asia has partnered with iQiYI to create new television series Deer Squad, which will begin airing in the first quarter of next year. Of course, SpongeBob SquarePants is a key franchise in the Nickelodeon portfolio. Globally, overall SpongeBob consumer products business is up over 60% from last year and Nickelodeon is planning to expand SpongeBob’s world. Characters will receive back stories and spin-off series across linear and digital platforms and the first spin-off, Kamp Koral, was announced recently. Dora the Explorer continues to be

a powerhouse franchise and will celebrate her 20th anniversary in 2020/2021. Dora continues to resonate with children and parents, particularly in China where education is key across content and especially publishing. Dora has almost 200 episodes, over 15 apps and more than 40 games to her name. Nickelodeon is also continuing to invest in PAW Patrol and expand the universe with new content themes and storylines, new characters and new product categories. Mighty Pups, the direct-to-DVD release in the US is being released theatrically with a tentative release planned for China in Spring next year. A follow up entitled Ready, Race, Rescue will follow in 2021. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are celebrating their 35th anniversary and Nickelodeon has new content releases, crossovers, new consumer products and on-the-ground experiences to drive consumer interest. The new series, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is currently airing in over 160 territories and on iQIYI. China, of course, is a unique market with extraordinary potential. Total Licensing China talked to three key executives Pierre Cheung, Senior Vice President and GM, Greater China, Viacom International Media Networks, Claire O’Connor, Vice President, APAC, Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Products, and to Jack Yew, Vice President, Location Based Experiences, Asia Pacific, Viacom International Media Networks

Pierre Cheung. Tell us more about Nickelodeon’s content distribution business in China. Pierre Cheung: Now in its 40th year, Nickelodeon is the number-one entertainment brand for kids with 1.2 billion cumulative subscriptions across 170+ countries and territories. In Chi-

na, we have more than 50 shows and thousands of episodes distributed on a variety of platforms, including OTT, APP, IPTV and linear channels. Among the fan favourites are of course the iconic SpongeBob SquarePants, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, PAW Patrol and Dora the Explorer. Are there any shows produced specifically for China, or out of China? Pierre Cheung: In 2017, iQIYI and Nickelodeon partnered to co-develop Deer Squad, a 40-episode x 11-minute CG-animated series. This is the first time Nickelodeon Asia is taking a Chinese original on its network from the conception phase. The show is currently in production and is slated to premiere in the first quarter of 2020. We’ve signed a deal to collaborate on the second season, for which Nickelodeon will continue to provide creative guidance and supervision. The show will air on Nickelodeon’s international networks outside of China, and we will also explore licensing potential outside of China.The endearing Deer Squad features humorous storylines and compelling, relatable characters; proving that high quality original animation can come from any part of the world. We will continue to drive new animation co-productions in and with China, and look to collaborate with talented partners not only to create content that our viewers will love, but also to showcase China’s animation talent and resources to international markets. This underscores our commitment to our business in China, and to lead in further promoting Chinese animation for children. Short-form content is becoming increasingly popular in China and around the world. Are there any plans or projects in the works?

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA

Pierre Cheung: Definitely. Internationally, we have been at the forefront of pivoting to tackle the challenges that are impacting the TV market. In 2018, we launched Viacom Digital Studio International (VDSI), which is focused on creating digital content and growing our business outside of traditional linear. Since its launch, we have made significant strides and capitalised on some big opportunities in next-generation platforms and distribution. For example our first Asian short-form deal was with iQIYI for key Nickelodeon properties such as PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Dora the Explorer. We are actively exploring opportunities for digital content in China and we are particularly excited about mobile and OTT internationally. China is an extremely competitive and challenging market. How did Nickelodeon get to where it is in China?

Pierre Cheung: Besides premium content, our business has other revenue streams and we provide industry-leading reach through a variety of formats, including a portfolio of differentiated advanced advertising and marketing solutions. We fully leverage our content assets for multiplatform promotion, especially to build awareness of Nickelodeon classic IP on social platforms. For example, as part of our global celebration for SpongeBob’s 20th anniversary, we launched an official SpongeBob TikTok account which garnered us more than one million fans within a month and interactions exceeding 10 million. We also strive to bring the Nickelodeon real-world experience to an even bigger audience, through strategic partnerships. In our first offline event for iQIYI Qibubble in China, we held a Qibubble Town Event in Shanghai in 2018 which featured Nickelodeon themed experiences, fuelling fandom and taking the Nickelodeon experience beyond their screens. Today, the strength of the brand speaks for itself. Nickelodeon was invited to participate in the 2019 CCTV Kids Gala Event, in conjunction with Children’s Day celebrations. The pups from PAW Patrol entertained with a live show and were the only foreign IP with a solo performance in the opening show. On the day of broadcast, Nickelodeon’s viewership exceeded 100 million and rated No.1 in China in the time slot.These are some of the efforts that have helped build up the Nickelodeon brand in China.

From content to consumer products, Total Licensing caught up with Claire O’Connor to find out more.

Claire O’Connor What are the key factors in building consumer products success in China? Claire O’Connor: There are two key factors that have helped grow our consumer products business in China. The first is getting our content to as many Chinese audiences as possible. We do this by quickly localising content and distributing our shows through great partnerships. The second is building strong relationships with local consumer products licensees through our longstanding master licensing agent, Guangzhou Art-Land Holding Limited. Our partners come with a wealth of local contacts and experience and their ability to turnaround product very fast allows us to quickly get product to retail. Which properties have Chinese consumers responded to? Claire O’Connor: Our consumer products success has been largely driven by our key franchises, including SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, and of course, Dora the Explorer. SpongeBob SquarePants is celebrating its 20th Anniversary, and the series has developed generations of fans around the world. PAW Patrol is a top preschool property and audiences have responded to its themes of adventure, teamwork and helping others. Dora has engaged parents and their children for nearly 20 years, and she has helped kids to improve their learning of the English language. Why do you think PAW Patrol has been a success in China? Claire O’Connor: PAW Patrol combines compelling characters and engaging stories that feature curriculum focusing on citizenship, social skills and problem-solving. These themes resonate with Chinese audiences. The series was already a success around the world when we launched in China and the appetite for PAW Patrol consumer products by Chinese consumers was high from the moment we launched.

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA franchise’s 20th anniversary with mall events across China in 2019 that will continue into 2020. The anniversary is creating a halo effect, driving more interest and growth opportunities in China. We also see potential with Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the MTV brand, and newer properties like Top Wing. And so to Nickelodeon’s locationbased business. Total Licensing talked to Jack Yew.

Jack Yew

How are you executing your ‘Every Age, Every Aisle, Everywhere’ strategy in China? Claire O’Connor: We have a wide range of franchises and brands in our portfolio and have the unique ability to offer product across various categories and demos. For example, China was one of the first markets where we established SpongeBob as an adult fashion license, which complemented our existing business in kids. Today, our products cross infant, kids, teens and adults in China, and our retail distribution reach is wide. We are reaching Chinese consumers across all retail tiers – from hypers and large format stores like Walmart and RTMart where our personal care and consumer goods exist in abundance, to speciality and fashion retailers like Toys’R’Us and :Chocoolate, and finally on ecommerce platforms with online retailers such as Tmall and JD.com. Which properties do you think have opportunity to grow in China? Claire O’Connor: PAW Patrol’s demand continues to show momentum, and we are growing the franchise’s reach by expanding our assortment of product categories. For SpongeBob SquarePants, we are celebrating the

Nickelodeon has many immersive experiences across the world. How are they conceptualised and executed? Jack Yew: Immersive on-the-ground experiences are part of our ecosystem and a part of how we connect with kids and families, through our characters and stories. The first thing we consider when we evaluate the next leisure entertainment experience, is if it is true to our mission of making the world a more playful place. Our dedicated Nickelodeon Experience Design Team based out of Orlando, Florida, then collaborates with our licensees and partners, on the development of our theme parks, resorts, live shows and exhibits internationally. This makes sure that we have a consistent brand experience that will wow our fans around the world. Please share more about your theme parks, are they a strategy for success in China? Jack Yew: Theme parks are an important part of our Location-Based Experience business. Our parks offer the latest in attractions and experiences but also give Nickelodeon fans the opportunity to interact with our popular characters and get immersed in our stories. We have announced two theme parks in development, one in Chongqing and another in Foshan. We know theme parks are great places for kids and families to spend time together and our parks give us the opportunity to introduce our characters to more Chinese audiences in a unique and interactive environment.

Is there a market for live shows in China? Jack Yew: Definitely! During summer this year, the PAW Patrol “Race to the Rescue” live show toured 16 Chinese cities with many sold out shows. That success prompted a second show, PAW Patrol “Great Pirate Adventure”, which will start to tour China in October 2019 through the winter. The PAW Patrol live shows are a crowdpleaser as the IP is fantastic – the characters are aspirational and visually appealing and the stories, engaging and inspiring. These elements are brought to life in these live shows, and create the perfect recipe for an entertaining and memorable experience for audiences. What is next on the horizon for Nickelodeon in the LBE space in China? Jack Yew: Apart from the current live ticketed events and upcoming theme park projects, we continue to provide exciting and memorable experiences for kids and families by actively exploring opportunities in themed hotel and resorts and family entertainment centres. We expect to announce partnerships in that space soon. We also see a lot of animation talent and potential in China and are committed to help develop the local sector. Last year, we launched a new multiyear Nickelodeon Programme in kids’ animation development, in collaboration with the Communication University of China (CUC). This was supported by Wellcome Forefront (Beijing) Culture Media Corp, a Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) licensing partner. The programme aims to develop Chinese creative talent in the animation field through courses conducted by international VIMN and Nickelodeon executives, who will share their expertise in research, storytelling and character development, animation skills and commercialisation. Students will explore how iconic animated characters for Nickelodeon are created, and how new licensing opportunities offscreen are generated. Ultimately, it’s to understand how the sector works commercially and what’s involved in building a global franchise.

Discovery Booth E2T09 Discovery is the global leader in reallife entertainment, with passion brands

that have an international presence both on and off the screen. Discovery’s licensing business in China is vast and only continuing to expand.

Discovery holds an interesting position in China. While there is no linear Discovery Channel, the brand awareness is strong via consumer products, as well as the production and selling of content to Chinese TV distributors. Discovery is synonymous with trusted documentaries, as well as STEM and survival themed content. This allows Discovery’s licensing team to develop strong partnerships that cross over both content and retail categories. Discovery’s goal with the licensing business in China is to deliver a physical product to consumers that encompasses the spirit of Discovery. The business is based on the team’s ability to identify areas of growth in the market, and matching that to Discovery’s brand perception with consumers. It is also based on partnerships with reliable and trusted brands. With the growing Discovery directto-consumer business, China is a great example of how the strong Discovery brand awareness transcends linear television.

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA Hoho Entertainment is a British independent television production and distribution company founded by industry experts Helen Howells and Oliver Ellis back in 2011. Amongst their success stories are series including Cloudbabies which has sold into more than 100 territories worldwide and their latest series Hana’s Helpline. Total Licensing China talked to Helen Howells to find out more about the company’s activities in China. “We began working in China in 2017 when we concluded a deal with WOW DADI to distribute Series 1 of Cloudbabies, our first pre-school series. Today, Cloudbabies is available on premium platforms Tencent, iQIYI and Youku with others coming on stream shortly. The series, which is aimed at preschool children focuses on the importance of children learning to look after each other and the world around them.There are subtle ecological messages throughout. It is also a whimsical way of explaining to children what happens up in the sky. For example, in the episode titled ‘Has Anyone Seen Sun,’ the sun wants to play hide and seek but is too big, so Moon suggests that he hide behind her. This of course causes an eclipse and everyone is in a muddle thinking it’s night time. All is revealed when the Cloudbabies finally find Sun. “It’s a lovely way of introducing young children to the idea of an eclipse,” continued Helen Howells. “In the epi-

sode, The Right Colour to Be, Bobo White takes it upon himself to paint the Sun purple which means the Sun cannot shine bright and the garden begins to wilt. The Cloudbabies have to engage the help of the clouds to rain while Bobo Yellow cleans up the Sun and gets him back his bright and shiny self. So what happens next for Cloudbabies in China? “We are on the look out for licensing partners to bring the Cloudbabies directly into the hands of our Chinese preschool audience and looking at ways that we can collaborate with pre-schools and nurseries. Children recognise sun, clouds, rainbows from a very early age as they are depicted in so many ways, especially in picture books so what better way to teach children about the sky than through their favourite onscreen characters?” A further series in Hoho’s portfolio is

Shane the Chef. With childhood obesity on the rise, this series encourages children to learn about food and where it comes from, make healthier choices and hopefully develop an interest in and a love of cooking. “The objective of the show is to promote better food knowledge and to encourage healthy eating,” continued Helen Howells. “It is also a way of introducing children to food and recipes from other parts of the world.” In recent news, Hoho has announced that award-winning preschool series Hana’s Helpline (52 x 10 minute episodes) is launching in China on Tencent and MangoTV, two of China’s most popular VOD channels in a deal

brokered by The Media Pioneers. Tencent Video, which has over 900 million mobile monthly active users and around 90 million subscribers, has signed a five-year deal for non-exclusive VOD and exclusive TVOD rights to the show in Mandarin. MangoTV’s five-year deal is for non-exclusive SVOD. The deals were brokered by Chinese distribution specialists The Media Pioneers, a London-based UK-

China media group. Hana’s Helpline is a stop-motion animation series about a dedicated duck agony aunt who is always at the end of a phone. The series deals with the kind of social and emotional issues that young children experience when they first start going to school.Together with her son Francis, Hana helps animals with all sorts of problems, whether it’s a giraffe that’s being bullied because it’s so tall or a little duck that’s too scared to go swimming. Helen Howells commented, “We’re thrilled to be bringing this beautiful series to pre-schoolers in China and it’s been a pleasure working with Maggie Liang and her team to make this happen. Hana and her friends are there to remind little children that they should never fear talking about their problems, no matter how big or small.” Maggie Liang, MD, The Media Pioneers, said, “We are proud to represent Hoho to distribute Hana’s Helpline, a classic and innovative IP, to the Chinese market.

Hoho Entertainment 是一家英国独立的电视制作和发行公司，由行业专家 Helen Howells 和 Oliver Ellis 于 2011 年成立。他们的成功案例包括 Cloudbabies 等系列和最新的 Hana’s Helpline 系列，Cloudbabies 已在全球 100 多个地区销售。授权概览中国采访了 Helen Howells，详细了解了该公司在中国的活动。 “我们于 2017 年开始在中国开展工作，当时我们与 WOW DADI 达成了一项协议，发行我们的第一个学前系列 Cloudbabies 的第 1 系列。如今，Cloudbabies 在腾讯、爱奇艺和优酷等高端平台上都有提供，其他平台也将很快上线。该系列节目的目标人群是学前儿童，关注的重点是孩子们学会照顾彼此和他们周围的世界的重要性。贯穿始终的是微妙的生态信息。这也是一种向孩子们解释天上发生了什么的异想天开的方式。例如，在 Has anyone seen sun 这一集中，太阳想玩捉迷藏，但又太大了，于是月亮建议他躲在她后面。这当然会导致日食，每个人都在混乱中认为是晚上了。当云宝宝们最终找到太阳时，一切都显露出来了。 “这是向孩子们介绍日食的好方法,”Helen Howells 最后说道,“在 The Right Colour to Be 这一集中，Bobo White 自己把太阳涂成了紫色，这意味着太阳不能发出明亮的光，花园开始枯萎。云宝宝们必须借助云的帮助才能下雨，而 Bobo Yellow 则

Hana’s Helpline 是一个定格动画系列，讲述的是一个专注于鸭子的知心大姐总是在电话挂掉电话。该系列讲述的是孩子们刚开始上学时所经历的社会和情感问题。Hana 和她的儿子 Francis 一起帮助动物们解决各种各样的问题，无论是长颈鹿因为太高而被欺负，还是小鸭子因为太害怕而不敢去游泳。 Helen Howells 评论道：“我们很高兴能把这个美丽的系列节目带给中国学前儿童，也很高兴能与 Maggie Liang 及其团队一起实现这一目标。 Hana 和她的朋友们总是提醒孩子们永远不要害怕谈论他们的问题，无论问题大小。” 先锋影业 MD Maggie Liang 表示：“我们很荣幸能够代表 Hoho 向中国市场推广 Hana’s Helpline，这是一个经典而创新的 IP。该剧的理念和角色将给孩子们和他们的家人带来乐趣和积极的情绪。我们相信中国观众会喜欢这部剧，会爱上 Hana 和她的朋友们。” Hoho 正在寻找合作伙伴，帮助他们扩大在中国的活动，为每一部成功的学前电视连续剧制作一个消费品节目。

The Rise of Social Media E-commerce in China Benefits and Challenges for Brand Licensors The universal acceptance of the WeChat social media platform as a primary mode of communication in China, coupled with the rapid adoption of the WeChat Pay and Alipay electronic payment platforms, has revolutionized Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s e-commerce industry in recent years, with I-media Consulting forecasting that some 570 million consumers will generate as much as RMB 3 trillion in online sales via social e-commerce in 2020. Industry

giants such as Pinduoduo, JD.com/ Tencent and Alibaba, along with many smaller players, are all racing to lay the technology and logistics infrastructure that will power the next phase of e-commerce growth with a particular focus on Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second and third-tier cities. While the increased velocity in sales and efficiencies realized in retail operations and fulfillment will be a boon to both licensors and licensees, challenges lay ahead for those seeking

to protect their brands in this important market. 500 Million Commissioned Sales Agents Through the power of Tencentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WeChat Pay platform, every consumer with a mobile phone can receive a commission for recommending a product to a friend via social media. On WeChat, users are able to invite their WeChat friends to a group, which they create and for which they are the leader. Groups can be as large as 500 WeChat friends, and there is no limit to the number of WeChat groups that one can create. When a group leader recommends a product to the members of her group, an app tracks the users who purchased the product, and a commission is paid to the group leader via the WeChat Pay platform for every recommendation that results in a purchase. Companies like JD.com have already developed the infrastructure to support this model, which enables users to recommend products to their friends, who can

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA then review and purchase products at the touch of a button and have the products delivered to their door. A Lifeline for Main Street For companies like JD.com, offline retail chains are not viewed as competition. They’re an important part of the total social e-commerce solution, where consumers can still experience products first-hand before ordering them online and having them delivered to their homes. Large online players have been acquiring controlling interests in their larger offline counterparts and distribution agents and retail store operators are all part of the connected social media network, providing aftersales service and developing relationships with end-consumers whose wordof-mouth reviews on their WeChat groups can help them to advertise in-store promotions and lure new customers to experience their good service and points programs. The Last Mile While there remain near-term challenges in terms of developing the logistics infrastructure required to support next-day delivery across all of China’s second and third-tier cities, the cost efficiencies related to inventory management and local logistic centers are significant, and are a key driver for companies like JD.com to make the required investment. Once in place, these logistics platforms will extend benefits to offline retail partners via effective warehousing and delivery solutions to take those burdens off of their shoulders, while also enabling the bundling of products into single shipments to end-consumers, rather than multiple shipments from separate warehouses which is often the norm today.

management, product development and merchandising, not to mention cost-effective, targeted marketing programs. Benefits and Challenges for Brands China remains a challenging business environment for brand licensors where visibility into actual sales numbers for licensed product can be less than optimal in some cases. As more and more of China’s commerce moves online it is reasonable to assume that access to solid sales data will become the norm for accurate royalty reporting and payment, and also for new product development that depends heavily on past consumer purchasing behavior. For licensees, the growth and acceptance of the e-commerce model in China has greatly reduced the risk and investment related to developing new licensing programs, eliminating the need to establish offline retail stores as a means to introduce new brands or products to end-consumers, and permitting the licensee to serve China via one or a handful of online points of sale. With the advent of social media, the potential pace with which consumers can be informed about new brands and products via cost-effective, word-

of-mouth recommendations from friends and associates, and act on those recommendations in real-time is astounding. And it is the pace of information flow and the sources of that information that may hold the greatest potential risk for both licensors and licensees in a social e-commerce world. Just as good recommendations may sway a friend to embrace your brand and products, bad reviews will influence purchase decisions as well. Perhaps more so. Chinese consumers have become well-accustomed to checking product reviews before reaching a purchasing decision on more traditional e-commerce sites like Alibaba’s Tmall and JD.com. In the world of social e-commerce, they’ll be receiving reviews from family, friends and others they know – an arguably much more influential cohort than the man on the street. It is for this reason that licensors will need to be even more diligent in monitoring their licensees’ performance in China and other territories where social e-commerce can play such an influential role in the perception of their brands across product quality, marketing and communications and aftersales service.

The Future of Tradition, Empowered with the Force of Licensing How Museum Licensing may Empower Museums in China you add the exhibition edition of the notebooks, pens, tapes to your cart.

The 18th May has been International Museum Day in China since 1977, with one special theme created for each year. In 2019, the theme was ‘Museums as Cultural Hubs: The Future of Tradition’. Nowadays, museums are no longer confined to their traditional primary missions – collection, conservation, communication, research and exhibition. Museums strive to constantly reinvent themselves, with no efforts spared to explore different ways to grow, to become important means of cultural exchanges, enrichment of cultures, development of mutual understanding and cooperation among peoples. For many people in China, museums play an interesting and important role in their lives. Imagine that you are going to visit a new art exhibition in a museum and you start your journey on a metro. When you arrive at the metro station and step into a special-edition train heading directly to the museum, you find yourself already ‘in’ that exhibition… you are able to ‘see’, ‘hear’, ‘feel’ and ‘touch’ the exhibition – the artworks, the creative works and the merchandise. They are around you in the form of posters, photographs, videos and different kinds of displays.

This is a typical immersive museum experience. When you get off the train and walk into the exhibition, for the first time, you are given an Oculus Rift at the entrance and you start your real art journey feeling great when you see the “real” artworks which were brought to Shanghai from Rome, Paris, London and New York. And what excites you more is that with the Oculus Rift, you find yourself suddenly walking in “The Mystery and Melancholy of a Street” of Giorgio de Chirico, while as you walk on, all of a sudden you ‘step into a garden with music, that is Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Almond Blossom.’ Then you want a coffee, so you go to the museum cafeteria, you find they are serving a limited edition of ‘Lily Pond Lunch Menu’ as inspired by Claude Monet’s Le Bassinaux Nympheas. At this time, your British Museum Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Art Special Edition mobile phone rings, it is your best friend, she tells you that she just bought the Stoned Rose lipstick launched by the National Museum together with L’Oreal and a pair of Moschino V&A earrings and asks if you want to join her for low tea. So you visit the museum shop before departure, a Twinings and V&A William Morris special edition seems a perfect gift for the low tea, at the same time

Such is a common scene for museum fans who live in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou or other cities in China. For them, museums have been a part of their lives. They make their lives more artistic and delicate. Goods and services provided by museums or museum’s partners seem to be much more appealing than ordinary goods and services. And they are actually making a contribution to the museums, because a certain percentage of their payment will go to museums, as licensing royalties. When museum licensing is being discussed, there will always be questions and challenges, mainly on the basis of Open Resources and Free Access as promoted by leading museums, including those who are successful in museum licensing, such as The Met, which launched its Open Access platform in 2017, seeking to make its collection one of the most accessible creating ‘Art is for Everyone’. Actually there is no conflict between museum licensing and Open Access. If we look at The Met’s Open Access policy, one can easily find that it does not apply to all works, but the images that The Met believes to be in the public domain and those to which The Met waives copyright it might have, with usage made subject to the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) designation. In addition, the online collection of data is also made available in accordance with the CC0. However, for mages of artworks under copyright or other restrictions, a license shall apply. Several questions are frequently asked when museum licensing is being discussed, such as, ‘Why should I pay royalties when numerous images of the same or similar are free to download?’, ‘Why should I be lim-

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA ited or restricted in using the images, trademarks or logos which I have paid for?’ ‘Why should I bear costs to fight piracy or other infringement and not the licensor?’ To answer these questions let’s analyse the process step by step. First of all, let’s define what is museum licensing. Museum licensing is not akin to simply granting the copyright to use images. Take the two sunflowers of Vincent van Gogh as an example, which were both completed by the artist in 1888. The Sunflowers, 1888 is a collection currently owned by the National Gallery located in the UK and the other Sunflowers, 1888 was destroyed in Japan during World War II and no longer exists. If discussion is only focused on the commercialisation value of the two works, the first is definitely is tremendously much more valuable than the second. The first is one of the most sought-after images for licensing in the

Van Gogh Sunflowers series today. It has been extensively used, in various types and categories of licensing, ranging from traditional licensed products to modern visual media artworks. One of the major reasons that made it desirable in licensing is that the National Gallery trademark and logo are also granted for use under the license as well as the Sunflowers 1888 image. From a consumer perspective, museum licensed products and services normally represent high quality, the museum trademarks and logos definitely make the licensed products and services stand out and for these consumers, they are very much willing to pay a little bit more for the licensed products and services. As explained in the example above, museum licensing is more than copyright license of imag-

es, it is a complex package of licenses, including but not limited to the copyrights, registered trademarks, logos, and sometimes also include trade secrets and other intellectual property which relate to the licensing operation and management. In China, this was explained in the Operation Guidelines on Copyright, Trademarks and Brand Licensing of Museum Collections, the Museum Licensing Operation Guidelines published by the State Administration of Cultural Relics of China on 9 May 2019, which became effective on the same day. The Museum Licensing Operation Guidelines explicitly provide that the intellectual property to be licensed shall include the copyrights, registered trademarks and brands relating to the museum collections. Secondly, museum licensing is way beyond high definition scanning or copy and paste. Instead, it requires high standard re-creation or development based on the museum collections. In recent years, museum licensing has boomed in China and is continuously growing. However, on the other hand, diversification and differentiation can hardly be found among museum licensed products. It is often impossible to identify a Palace Museum licensed notebook or tape from that from the Summer Palace, and there is also a piracy and counterfeit challenges in museum licensing. Only if the licensee has an in-depth understanding and appreciation of the museum collections and is equipped and capable of museum research, competent in re-creating works and designing products/services based on museum collections, can it be successful in museum licensing and fully harness the innate potential of the artwork collections. To achieve this, the licensee has to work closely with the museum and experts to develop unique and different museum products, services or marketing events.

From what we see from the Chinese market, it is very true that only museum products and services which are innovative with originality and are still identifiable by their Chinese cultural legacy can become popular. To achieve that, professional guidance and a close working relationship with museums is indispensible, which, of course, is not available for museum artworks being downloaded from the public domain or under the Open Access program. In addition, successful museum licensees are usually experienced in recreating and developing new intellectual property on the basis of the original museum collections, which then will obviously add value to the museum collections. In particular, the value of the intangible assets can be significantly increased and the popularity of the museums can be enhanced.This will, in the end, make a great contribution to the museum’s sustainability and development. This is also clearly stipulated in the Museum Licensing Operation Guidelines as mentioned above, which provides that, ‘copyright acquired from the recreation based on the museum collections shall belong to the museums.’ In practice, re-creation is deemed a good way to inherit and refresh the old and inhale the new re-creative process. Through quality museum licensing, licensees may help the museum to boost the value of museum licensing and enhance its competitive advantages among museums, and at the same time, help the museum to enrich its assets of intellectual property. Thirdly, museum licensing is not a license without management. As seen in the market, a successful licensing program needs joint and collaborated efforts from all stakeholders, the same is true in museum licensing, which needs synergies optimized, common values shared and agreements executed according to agreement reached among the museum (as licensor), the licensee, agent and sub-licensees, effectively and collaboratively throughout the whole process of identifying rights for licensing, managing licensing and fighting against infringement. Only with that,

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA can the licensing program be successful and beneficial for all parties. During this process, relationships among the parties are usually constrained by one or more licensing agreements. Besides, as mentioned in the Museum Licensing Operation Guidelines, museums can carry out licensing activities directly, or through selected third-parties. Depending on the licensing module, they can adopt sole, exclusive, or ordinary licensing. With such arrangements, together with the style guide, a written approval policy and the auditing pro-

cess, as well as advertising and media guidelines, the museum shall have an effective mechanism to manage and oversee the licensing program. Of course, museums may find it helpful to engage third party experts and professionals so as to ensure protection of all partiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; benefits from a museum licensing program which is legitimate, compliant, effective and sustainable. Further, museum licensing is a business model of massive benefit, which empowers museums to be sustainable with income and without investment or additional efforts. Of all benefits, a museum may achieve from licensing include a royalty income, free promotion, better branding and more popularity outside its own country or region. In China, this has been proved true through various examples. Take the Palace Museum as an example, it is widely known that in 2017, the total turnover of its cultural and creative products was pushing RMB 1.5 billion yuan (equivalent to US$0.21 billion). For the same year, according to official sources, the total turnover of cultural and creative products from museums throughout China reached approximately RMB 3.52 billion yuan (equivalent to approximately US$0.496 billion). And, taking the British Museum as a good example of for-

eign museums, the unofficial statistics state that in 2018 its turnover from China reached over RMB 0.2 billion yuan (equivalent to approximately US$28.2 million). Also in 2018, a good example came from a pop-up store of China Taiwanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Palace Museum in Taipei. Within three months of opening, this single pop-up store generated sales revenue up to TWD 0.5 billion yuan (equivalent to approximately US$15.5 million). In addition, it is worthwhile noting that because museum licensing is licensing of rights only, instead of any collection, there is no risk to the ownership or safety of the museum collections nor does it create additional burden or encumbrance to the museum, or negative impact. As we mentioned above, in addition to licensing fees, the benefits museums achieved from licensing are more than just revenue. For many museums, especially foreign museums, this may enable them to become more known in foreign countries like China, and in return this may bring them more visitors and consumers from China. Resources from the British Museum and The Met prove it to be true. Museum licensing also enables museums to create opportunities to work with various partners in the field of public education, training and development, to serve the museumsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; primary mission of public interest and non-profit. Moreover, museum licensing activities also provide invaluable training and exposure to museums staff, as talent development opportunities for different levels of staff. This can create invaluable experience for their career and can be the spark to reignite their passion in a career with the museum services. Possibly, this may also solve the lack of talent problem that plagues numerous museums in China today. Of course, notwithstanding the above, museum licensing is not perfect nor risk-free, for either a museum or licensee. A comprehensive risk assessment should be undertaken in advance, to cover the whole process of identifying rights for licensing, licensing, managing licensing and fighting against infringement. In ad-

dition, effective protection measures should be put in place at all levels to avoid legal liabilities. Regulatory compliance risks should also be closely and effectively managed to avoid infringement of any existing copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right, and to mitigate and eliminate industry-related regulatory compliance risk such as those that apply to industries like foods and beverages, automobiles and parts, medical etc. As a conclusion, if well-managed and well-coordinated, museum licensing can become a key tool to unlock the vast potential of artworks residing in museums and could be the driving force to generate and motivate multitiered co-operation and dialogue among museums, licensees, other stakeholders and the general public. This will spur museums toward greater heights, and this may empower museums to develop with sustainability. The central focus of International Museum Day in recent years has been sustainable development. With that taken into consideration, it is believed that museum licensing can be a force to empower museums and a common thread through the themes of recent years, starting in 2004 with Museums and Intangible Heritage to 2015 when the theme was Museums for a Sustainable Development of Society and 2018 when the theme was Hyperconnected Museums: New Approaches and New Public. Right up to date, the 2019 theme was Museums as Cultural Hubs: The Future of tradition. It is expected that, via museum licensing, museums can become more interactive, flexible, adaptable and mobile, so as to be more relevant to the general public and become more meaningful to their daily lives, allowing the tradition not only be felt and experienced in the present, but to be reinvented and re-created for the future. It is very much hoped that museum licensing may benefit all, with heritage as a cornerstone, to build a better future for generations to come, not only in China, but also throughout the world.

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA

Pets Rock, a brand created by British art and design partners Mark and Kate Polyblank, is making substantial inroads into China. The brand, which now has more than 75 characters, cleverly combines people’s enduring fascination with their pets and the cult of celebrity in an engaging mix of pop culture and trend. Mark and Kate appointed Marilu Cor-

pus’ Click! Licensing Asia to manage the property in Asia and the response has been tremendous. “We have worked with Marilu now for more than four years. The program began with Mall Events which, as we all know, are really big in China,” explained Kate. Over the last two years, Pets Rock has been the focus of Mall Events including the Grand Gateway 66 in Shanghai, Henderson Metropolitan, Shanghai, Fashion Walk Mall in Hong Kong and a number of events in Cheng Du, Hangzhou and Wuzi. Audiences embraced the brand and licensed products soon followed, particularly fashion apparel which has been extremely popular amongst Chinese audiences. In addition, a number of major collaborations have been arranged which, again, provide the brand’s fans with product. Two current collections which are proving popular are with Trendiano and Reshake (part of Mark Fairwhale). Trendiano is a trend fashion brand aimed at adults aged 25 to 35. The brand has key stores in Shanghai, Chengdu, Beijing, Hangzhou, Changsha, Shenzen, Shenyang, Guiyang and Nanning and has celebrity endorsement by F4, stars of the TV show Meteor Garden, including Dylan Wang, Leon Leong, Darren Chen and Caesar Wu. Trendiano is inspired by British style integrated with European culture and up-todate international fashion trends whilst its styling is designed for Asian men. Product featuring Pets Rock, including T-shirts, polo shirts, jackets, trousers and shorts have been a sell-out and the collection is now extending into Vietnam and Russia. ‘Keep it Real’ is the core value of Reshake, a street fashion brand and Pets Rock has enjoyed a full collection of apparel which, again, has proved immensely popular. A highlight of 2018 was the collaboration held with Starbucks in China, which went on to win the Licensed Promotion of the Year

at the Asian Licensing Awards in 2018.. Pets Rock is the first non-Chinese brand that Starbucks in China ever worked with and the range of products, run as part of Starbucks’ loyalty program included bags, flasks, purses and phone cases. Costa Coffee was a further successful collaboration. Le Sportsac has also seen sell-out collections and the latest licensed products in the growing collection across China include credit cards, candies, apparel, food and puzzles. Pets Rock has also been featured on ranges of credit cards with three Chinese banks. Clearly the Chinese market is important. As Kate Polyblank continued, “China has become a very important market for us. Our real strength is that the Chinese love British style and design and they also adore their pets. Put these together, which Pets Rock does, and we know we have a success on our hands.”

由英国艺术与设计合作伙伴 Mark Polyblank 和 Kate Polyblank 创造的 Pets Rock 品牌正在大举进军中国。该品牌目前拥有 75 多个角色，巧妙地将人们对宠物的持久迷恋和对名人的崇拜结合在一起，将流行文化和潮流融合在一起。Mark 和 Kate 指定 Marilu Corpus’ Click! Licensing Asia 来管理亚洲产权，反响非常好。 “我们和 Marilu 合作已有四年多。这个项目从购物中心活动开始，我们都知道，购物中心活动在中国非常盛大，”Kate 说道。在过去的两年里，Pets Rock 一直是购物中心活动的焦点，包括上海的港汇恒隆广场，上海的恒基名人购物中心，香港的 Fashion Walk Mall，以及成都、杭州和无锡的一些活动。观众们接受了这个品牌，很快就接受授权产品，尤其是在中国观众中非常受欢迎的时装。此外，还安排了一些重大合作，同样是为品牌的粉丝提供产品。目前流行的两个系列是 Trendiano 和 Reshake（Mark Fairwhale 的一部分）。 Trendiano 是一个面向 25-35 岁成年人的时尚潮牌。该品牌在上海、成都、北京、杭州、长沙、深圳、沈阳、贵阳、南宁等地均设有重点门店，并拥有电视剧《流星花园》中的 F4 明星代言，包括王鹤棣、梁靖康、官鸿、吴希泽。Trendiano 的设计灵感来自英国风，融合了欧洲文化和最新的国际时尚潮流，同时其造型是专为亚洲男性设计的。以 Pets Rock 为特色的产品，包括 T 恤、马球衫、夹克、裤子和短裤，已经销售一空，该系列现在正扩展到越南和俄罗斯。

全系列服装，事实再次证明，这些服装非常受欢迎。 2018 年的一大亮点是与星巴克在中国的合作，并在 2018 年的亚洲授权奖上获得年度授权推广奖。Pets Rock 是星巴克在中国合作过的第一个非中国品牌，加入星巴克忠诚计划的产品范围包括手袋、烧瓶、钱包和手机壳。Costa Coffee 也是一次成功的合作。Le Sportsac 的系列产品也已售罄，在中国不断增长的系列中，最新的授权产品包括信用卡、糖果、服装、食品和拼图。Pets Rock 也出现在中国三家银行的信用卡上。显然，中国市场很重要。Kate Polyblank 继续说道：“中国已经成为我们一个非常重要的市场。我们真正的优势是中国人喜欢英式风和设计，他们也喜欢他们的宠物。将这些结合起来，就像 Pets Rock 所做的那样，我们知道我们已经成功了。”

社交媒体电子商务在中国的兴起品牌授权方可获得的好处和将面临的挑战人们普遍接受微信社交媒体平台作为中国主要通信模式，加上微信支付和支付宝电子支付平台的迅速普及，近年来中国电子商务行业发生了革命性变化，Imedia Consulting 预测，到 2020 年，约 5.7 亿消费者将通过社交电子商务产生 3 万亿元人民币线上销售额。拼多多、京东/腾讯和阿里巴巴等行业巨

头，以及许多小型企业，都在争夺技术和物流基础设施，为下一阶段的电子商务增长提供支持，特别关注中国二线和三线城市。虽然零售业务和履约中的销售和效率的提高将为授权方和被授权方带来福音，但对于那些寻求在这个重要市场中保护其品牌的人来说，将面临挑战。

5 亿收受佣金的销售代理通过腾讯微信支付平台的强大功能，每位拥有手机的消费者都可以通过社交媒体就向朋友推荐产品获得佣金。在微信上，用户可以邀请他们的微信好友加入自己创建的群，并且自己担任群主。群可以多达 500 个微信好友，并且可以创建的微信群数量没有限制。当群主向其群员推荐产品时，应用程序会跟踪购买产品的用户，并通过微信支付平台就产生购买的每次推荐向群主支付佣金。京东等公司已开发支持这种模式的基础设施，使用户能够向他们的好友推荐产品，而好友只需按下按钮即可查看和购买产品，然后就会有人将产品送到他们家门口。主街的生命线对于像京东这样的公司来说，线下零售连锁店并不被视为竞争对手。它们是整个社交电子商务解决方案的重要组成部分，消费者

在网上订购产品并要求将产品送到家中之前，仍然可以亲身体验产品。大型线上企业一直在收购其大型线下对手的控股权益，而分销代理和零售店运营商都是相互关联的社交媒体网络的一部分，提供售后服务并与最终消费者建立关系，这些最终消费者在微信群的口碑评论可以帮助他们宣传店内促销活动，并吸引新客户体验他们的优质服务和积分计划。最后一英里虽然在发展支持中国所有二线和三线城市次日送达所需的物流基础设施方面仍存在短期挑战，但与库存管理和本地物流中心相关的成本效益显着，是像京东这样的公司进行所需投资的主要推动因素。一旦到位，这些物流平台将通过有效的仓储和交付解决方案，将优势扩展到线下零售合作伙伴，以减轻他们的负担，同时还可以将产品捆绑到最终消费者的单次发货，而不是从不同仓库多次发货，而这通常是今天的常态。

大数据不言而喻，随着电子商务购买步伐的加快和未来几年买家数量的增加，数据储存对零售商和品牌来说都很重要，从而提高库存管理、产品开发和推销的效率，更不用说具有成本效益、有针对性的市场营销计划。品牌可获得的好处和将面临的挑战对于品牌授权方来说，中国的商业环境仍然充满挑战，在某些情况下，对授权产品的实际销售数字的可见性可能不够理想。随着越来越多的中国商业活动转到线上，我们有理由假设，访问可靠的销售数据将成为准确版税报告和支付的标准，也将成为严重依赖过去消费者购买行为的新产品开发的标准。对于被授权方而言，中国电子商务模式的发展和接受度大大降低了与制定新授权计划相关的风险和投资，从而无需建立线下零售店作为向最终消费者介绍新品牌或产品的手段，并且允许被授权方通过一个或少数线上销售点在

中国提供服务。随着社交媒体的出现，消费者通过具有成本效益的亲朋好友口碑推荐以及对这些建议实时采取行动来了解新品牌和产品的潜在速度令人震惊。在社交电子商务领域，对授权方和被授权方来说，最大的潜在风险可能是信息流的速度和信息的来源。正如好的推荐可能会影响好友支持您的品牌和产品一样，糟糕的评论也会影响购买决策。也许影响更大。在阿里巴巴天猫和京东等较传统的电子商务网站上做出购买决定之前，中国消费者已经习惯于查看产品评论。在社交电子商务领域，他们将收到来自家人、朋友和他们认识的其他人的评论，这可能是比街上的人更有影响力的群体。正是由于这个原因，授权方需要更加勤勉地监督其被授权方在中国和其他地区的表现，在这些地区，社交电子商务会在其产品质量、市场营销和公关以及售后服务方面对其品牌认知度产生重要作用。

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA

V&A LAUNCHES WECHAT ACCOUNT IN CHINA The V&A is a brand with international appeal and a commitment to growing its commercial business in the global market place, with one of the key territories being East Asia. The V&A has been working with their exclusive agent in China - Alfilo Brands - to push forward their ambitious plans for licensing, retail collaborations and pop-up stores throughout the territory. In the last year, they have grown their number of licensees within East Asia by 15%. Part of the V&A’s strategy to drive brand awareness in the territory has involved launching dedicated social media accounts in China. In June, they introduced a V&A account on WeChat. WeChat is the Chinese multipurpose messaging, social media and mobile payment app. Developed by Zhang Xiaolong in the Guangzhou Research Center of Tencent in late 2010 and launched in early 2011, it is now one of the most popular social media platforms. To celebrate their account launch earlier this year, the V&A arranged an exclusive interview filmed with their Deputy Director

and Chief Operating Officer, Tim Reeve, to be published on the channel. Tim Reeve listed the top reasons for tourists to visit the V&A and highlighted his favourite objects at the museum. Since the launch, the V&A has used their WeChat account in part to promote their online product offer on Tmall and their brand licensees’ debut collections in China. Shopping is one of the most popular topics on WeChat, making it a great platform to inform customers about the museum’s product ranges. Unlike Western social media apps such as Twitter and Instagram, WeChat focuses on in-depth articles that enable the V&A to storytell and highlight the inspiration and provenance behind product design. For the first shop-led article, the

V&A focused on products inspired by the artist Owen Jones, one of the most prolific and influential designers of the 19th century. Jones’s seminal work, The Grammar of Ornament, published in 1856, features a collection of coloured decorations and ornamental motifs from many periods, countries and cultures that still inspire designers today. For example, Kaco, the V&A’s stationery licensee in China, has reinterpreted the original drawings to create a line of journals, notecards and pens. Alongside shopping, the V&A uses WeChat to inform customers about their world-class exhibitions including their touring programme, their National collections and upcoming activities and events. In 2017, the V&A added the WeChat app to its museum collection, making the V&A the world’s first museum to collect a social media application. The WeChat app joins the V&A’s Design, Architecture and Digital (DAD) collections, which aim to represent the most influential and relevant design objects of our time.Visitors to the V&A in South Kensington, London can now see the WeChat application showcased on a mobile phone in Gallery 76, accompanied by digital

TOTAL LICENSING CHINA stickers and sketches. Alongside WeChat, the V&A also relaunched their Weibo account earlier this year. In the last quarter, the V&A’s account was listed within the top 10 most active museum accounts by Sina Weibo, the only overseas museum outside of China to do so. The V&A was recently used as a case study at a London & Partners event to highlight their successful strategy. Staying in China, as part of the V&A’s licensing activities in China, the V&A and iconic tea brand Twinings have launched limited-edition gifts exclusive to China and Taiwan. The two British brands share a connection through their respective relationships with Queen Victoria, who was instrumental in the foundation of the V&A and granted Twinings their

first Royal Warrant for tea in 1837. This year, the V&A is highlighting the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s births to commemorate the pioneering couple. Managed by the V&A’s licensing agent in Greater China, Alfilo Brands, the promotional license aimed to increase brand awareness in the market. Twinings and the V&A worked together to select patterns from the V&A’s comprehensive collections of works by the celebrated British Arts and Crafts designer, William Morris. The renowned artist championed design principles of making things with love, craftsmanship and a sense of quality. Featuring two classic Morris designs including the ever-popular Strawberry

Thief print, the limited-edition gift set includes a tin of loose-leaf tea and a mug, with a tote bag also available to purchase. The collaboration first launched late 2018 but was extended to Taiwan in May 2019 in time for Mother’s Day. The limitededition gift set was sold exclusively on Twining’s flagship online store at Yahoo Mall. To celebrate the launch for Mother’s Day in Taiwan, Twinings partnered with The Gaia Hotel in Beitou, Taipei City to launch the thematic “Twinings V&A Strawberry Thief Afternoon Tea”, exclusive to The Piacere Hall in The Gaia Hotel. Inspired by the details in Strawberry Thief, the pastry chefs created five bespoke desserts infused with Twinings Platinum tea and flavoured with fresh strawberries. Two unique mocktails were also developed for the special event by Jack Huang, the champion mixologist of Twinings Grand

Prix. The V&A supported Twinings with content for social media across Weibo and WeChat. The collaboration was also featured in Taiwanese Press, including an editorial piece in Elle Taiwan. Following the success of the first product launch, the brandlLicensing team are now working on a new range of products with Twinings that are due to launch in Autumn 2019 ahead of 11/11.

请分享更多有关您主题公园的信息，它们是否是在中国取得成功的策略？ Jack Yew：主题公园是我们位置型体验业务的重要组成部分。我们的公园提供最新的景点和体验，但也让 Nickelodeon 粉丝有机会与我们的流行角色互动，并沉浸在我们的故事中。我们已经宣布了两个正在开发的主题公园，一个在重庆，另一个在佛山。我们知道主题公园是孩子和家庭共度时光的好地方，我们的公园让我们有机会在一个独特的互动环境中向更多的中国观众介绍我们的角色。中国的现场表演有市场吗？ Jack Yew：肯定有！今年夏天，PAW Patrol“Race to the Rescue”在 16 个中国城市进行现场巡演，其中很多节目都售

罄。这一成功促成了第二场表演 PAW Patrol“Great Pirate Adventure”，将于 2019 年 10 月开始在中国巡回演出。由于 IP 很棒，因此 PAW Patrol 现场表演令人满意，角色既有抱负又有视觉吸引力，故事情节引人入胜、鼓舞人心。这些元素在这些现场表演中栩栩如生，为观众创造了一个完美的配方，为观众带来娱乐和难忘的体验。 Nickelodeon 在中国 LBE 领域有哪些后续举措？ Jack Yew：除了目前买票的现场活动和即将开展的主题公园项目外，我们还将继续为儿童和家庭提供令人兴奋和难忘的体验，积极探索主题酒店、度假村和家庭娱乐中心的机会。我们希望尽快在该领域宣布合作关系。我们在中国也看到了很多动画人才和潜力，并致力于帮助发展本地市场。去年，我们与中国传媒大学 (CUC) 合作，推出了一项新的儿童动画开发多年期 Nickelodeon 计划。这得到了 Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) 授权合作伙伴盛世前沿（北京）文化传媒有限公司的支持。该计划旨在通过国际 VIMN 和 Nickelodeon 高管开展的课程，在动画领域培养中国创意人才，高管们将分享他们在研究、讲故事和角色开发、动画技能和商业化方面的专业知识。学生将探索如何创建 Nickelodeon 标志性的动画角色，以及如何挖掘屏幕外的新授权机会。最终，了解该行业的商业运作方式以及打造全球特许经营权所涉及的内容。

DISNEY CELEBRATE MARVEL’S 80TH ANNIVERSARY 随着1939年8月31日第一本漫威漫画正式发行，今年是漫威80周年纪念。80年来，漫威以标志性的角色和经久不衰的故事培养了全球无数粉丝，将漫威宇宙带到了流行文化的最前沿。自2009年收购漫威以来，迪士尼在过去十年对漫威品牌进行了长期持续的投入，共推出了22部影片，最近一部《复仇者联盟4：终局之战》更是打破了各项影史纪录。从电影内容、乐园体验、衍生品开发等各个维度，漫威品牌已经进入了粉丝和消费者生活的方方面面。随着品牌的强劲发展，漫威消费品的授权业务也在过去十年呈现跳跃式增长。近两个财年内，在迪士尼的推动下，漫威品牌在中国消费品授权业务实现复合年增长率50%的强劲增长。在中国，漫威从最初以男性粉丝为主的品牌，发展到目前成为覆盖各个消费人群的“365天的生活方式品牌”，尤其女性消费者的比例增长迅速。目前漫威有20-30%的消

传统的未来，利用授权力量提供支持博物馆授权如何向中国博物馆提供支持中国其他城市的博物馆迷来说，这是一个常见的场景。对他们来说，博物馆已经成为他们生活的一部分。他们将自己的生活过得更加艺术化和精致。博物馆或博物馆合作伙伴提供的商品和服务似乎比普通商品和服务更具吸引力。它们实际上是在为博物馆做贡献，因为它们收入的一定比例将作为授权版权费转给博物馆。

自 1977 年以来，5 月 18 日一直是中国国际博物馆日，每年都有一个特别的主题。 2019 年的主题是“博物馆作为文化中心：传统的未来”。如今，博物馆已不再局限于传统的主要使命：收藏、保护、交流、研究和展览。博物馆努力不断改造自己，不遗余力地探索不同的成长方式，成为文化交流、丰富文化、发展民族之间相互理解与合作的重要手段。对于中国许多人来说，博物馆在他们的生活中扮演了一个有趣而重要的角色。想象一下，您将参观博物馆的新艺术展览，然后开始您的地铁之旅。当您到达地铁站并登上直接前往博物馆的特别版火车时，您会发现自己已经“进入”该展览...您可以“看到”、“听到” 、“感觉”和“触摸”展览 - 艺术品、创意作品和商品。它们以海报、照片、视频和各种显示形式出现在您身边。这是典型的沉浸式博物馆体验。当您下车并步入展览时，您第一次在入口处分到 Oculus Rift 虚拟现实眼镜时，当您看到从罗马、巴黎、 50

伦敦和纽约带到上海的“真实” 艺术品时，您开始真正的艺术之旅。。令您倍感兴奋的是，使用 Oculus Rift 眼镜，您会发现自己突然走进 Giorgio de Chirico 的“The Mystery and Melancholy of a Street”，当您走过时，突然间您走进一个带音乐的花园，那是梵高的“Almond B l o s s o m” 。接着，您想要来杯咖啡，因此您去博物馆的自助餐厅，您会发现他们正在供应以 Claude Monet 的 Le Bassin Aux Nympheas 为灵感的限量版“Lily Pond 午餐菜单”。这时，您的大英博物馆小米 Mi Mix 2S 艺术特别版手机将响铃，它是您最好的朋友，她告诉您，她刚买了国家博物馆和携手 L'oreal 推出的 Stoned Rose 唇膏，以及一对 Moschino V＆A 耳环，并询问您是否想和她一起享用下午茶。因此，您在出发前参观博物馆商店，Twinings 和 V&A William Morris 特别版似乎是下午茶的完美礼物，同时您将展览版的笔记本、笔、磁带添加到您的购物车。对于生活在上海、北京、广州或

在讨论博物馆授权时，总会有问题和挑战，主要是在主要博物馆推广的开放资源和免费参观的基础上，包括那些在博物馆授权方面取得成功的博物馆，例如 The Met 于 2017 年推出了开放参观平台，旨在使其收藏品成为参观最方便的博物馆之一，从而打造“艺术属于每个人”。事实上，博物馆授权和开放参观之间并不存在冲突。如果我们看一下 The Met 的开放参观政策，很容易就能发现它并不适用于所有作品，而仅适用于 The Met 认为属于公共领域的图像以及 The Met 放弃其可能具有的版权的图像，而且使用需指明 Creative Commons Zero (CC0) 名称。外，还根据 CC0 提供在线数据收集。但是，对于受版权或其他限制约束的艺术品的魔术师，应适用授权。在讨论博物馆授权时，经常会有几个问题，例如，当有大量相同或类似的图像可以免费下载时，为什么要支付版税，为什么我应该限制或限制使用付费的图像、商标或徽标，我为什么要承担打击盗版或其他侵权行为的费用而不是授权方。要回答这些问题，我们将逐步分析这个过程。首先，我们来定义什么是博物馆

授权概览中国

授权。博物馆授权不像授予使用图像的版权那么简单。以梵高的以下两幅向日葵为例，这两幅向日葵都是由该艺术家在 1888 年完成的。左边的 1888 年向日葵目前由英国国家美术馆收藏，另一幅 1888 年向日葵在第二次世界大战期间在日本被毁坏，不再存在。如果只讨论两幅作品的商业价值，那么左边的那幅肯定比右边的那幅更有价值。左边的那幅是今天梵高向日葵系列中最受欢迎的授权图像之一。它广泛用于各种类型和类别的授权，从传统的授权产品到现代视觉媒体艺术品。导致人们希望对它授权的主要原因之一是国家美术馆的商标和徽标也被授予根据授权使用，还有 1888 年的向日葵图像。从消费者的角度来看，博物馆授权的产品和服务通常代表着高质量，博物馆的商标和徽标肯定会使授权产品和服务脱颖而出，对于这些消费者，他们非常愿意为授权产品和服务支付更多费用。如上例所示，博物馆授权不仅仅是图像的版权授权，而是一个复杂的授权包，包括但不限于版权、注册商标、徽标，有时还包括商业秘密和其他与授权运营和管理相关的知识产权。中国国家文物局在 2019 年 5 月 9 日颁发的《博物馆馆藏资源著作权、商标权和品牌授权操作指引》中对此进行了解释，该指引已于颁发当日生效。博物馆授权操作指引明确规定，授权的知识产权应包括与博物馆藏品有关的版权、注册商标和品牌。其次，博物馆授权远远超出了高清扫描或复制粘贴。相反，需要基于博物馆藏品进行高标准的再创作或开发。近年来，中国的博物馆授权蓬勃发展且持续增长。然而，另一方面，在博物馆授权产品中很难发现多样化和差异化。通常无法识别出故宫博物院授权的笔记本或磁带与颐和园授权的笔记本或磁带，而且在博物馆授权业务中也存在盗版和假冒的挑战。

仅当被授权方对博物馆藏品有深入的了解和鉴赏力，并且能够进行博物馆研究，能够根据博物馆藏品重新创作作品和设计产品/服务，才能在博物馆授权方面取得成功，并且充分利用艺术品收藏的先天潜力。为了实现这一目标，被授权方必须与博物馆和专家密切合作，开发独特且不同的博物馆产品、服务或市场营销活动。从中国市场来看，只有具有创新性和原创性，并能被中国文化遗产所识别的博物馆产品和服务才会受到欢迎。要做到这一点，专业的指导和与博物馆密切的工作关系是必不可少的，当然不适用于可从公共领域下载或可实施开放参观计划的博物馆艺术品。此外，成功的博物馆被授权方通常在原始博物馆藏品的基础上再创造和开发新的知识产权，这显然会增加博物馆藏品的价值。特别是，无形资产的价值会显着增加，博物馆的受欢迎程度也会提高。这最终将为博物馆的可持续性和发展做出巨大贡献。上述博物馆授权操作指引也明确规定，“基于博物馆藏品进行再创作所获得的著作权属于博物馆”。在实践中，再创造被认为是继承和刷新旧作品和引入新再创造过程的好方法。被授权方可通过优质博物馆授权，协助博物馆提升博物馆授权价值，提升博物馆在博物馆间的竞争优势，同时亦有助博物馆扩充其知识产权资产。第三，博物馆授权不是没有管理的授权。正如在市场中看到的那样，一个成功的授权计划需要所有利益相关者的共同努力和合作，博物馆授权也是如此，需要博物馆（作为授权方）、被授权方、代理和再被授权方，根据博物馆之间达成的协议，优化协同效应，分享共同价值，以及履行协议，在识别授权权利、管理授

权和打击侵权的整个过程中有效地通力合作。只有这样，授权计划才能成功并有利于所有各方。在此过程中，各方之间的关系通常受到一个或多个授权协议的约束。此外，正如博物馆授权操作指引中所述，博物馆可以直接或通过选定第三方开展授权活动。根据授权模块，他们可以采用独家、排他或普通授权。通过这种安排，连同风格指南、书面批准政策和审计程序以及广告和媒体指引，博物馆应有一个有效的机制来管理和监督授权计划。当然，博物馆可能会发现吸引第三方专家和专业人士是有帮助的，以便确保保护所有各方从博物馆授权计划中获得的合法、合规、有效且可持续的利益。此外，博物馆授权是一项具有巨大利益的业务模块，将使博物馆能够通过收入实现可持续发展，无需投资或额外工作量。博物馆可从授权中获得的所有利益包括版权费收入、免费推广、更好的品牌宣传，以及在自己的国家或地区之外提高受欢迎程度。在中国，各种例子都证明了这一点。以故宫博物院为例，据官方资料披露，2017 年其文化创意产品的总营业额同比增加 15 亿元人民币（相当于 2.1 亿美元）。中国各地博物馆的文化创意产品总营业额约为人民币 35.2 亿元（相当于约 4.96 亿美元）。而且，以大英博物馆作为外国博物馆的典范，非官方统计数据显示，2018 年中国的营业额超过人民币 2 亿元（相当于约 2820 万美元）。同样在 2018 年，一个很好的例子来自台北的中国台湾故宫博物馆的快闪店。开业后三个月内，仅这家快闪店产生的销 51

授权概览中国

售收入就高达 5 亿新台币（相当于约 1550 万美元）。此外，值得注意的是，由于博物馆授权只是权利授权，而不是任何收藏的授权，博物馆藏品的所有权或安全性不存在风险，也不会给博物馆带来额外的负担或累赘，或者产生负面影响。正如我们上面提到的那样，除了授权费用之外，博物馆从授权中获得的好处不仅仅是收入。对于许多博物馆，尤其是外国博物馆

来说，这可能让他们在中国这样的国家变得更为知名，作为回报，这可能会为他们带来更多来自中国的参观者和消费者。来自大英博物馆和 MET 的资源证明了这一点。博物馆授权还使博物馆能够创造机会与公共教育、培训和开发领域的各种合作伙伴合作，为博物馆的公共利益和非营

利性的主要使命服务。外，博物馆授权活动还为博物馆工作人员提供了宝贵的培训和露面机会，为各个级别的员工提供才能培养机会。这会给他们的职业生涯带来宝贵的经验，并且可以成为重新激发他们对博物馆服务事业的热情的火花。这也许能够解决困扰当今中国众多博物馆的人才缺乏问题。当然，尽管如此，对博物馆或被授权方来说，博物馆授权并不完美，也不是没有风险。应提前进行全面的风险评估，以涵盖识别授权权利、授权、管理授权和打击侵权的整个过程。此外，应在各个层面采取有效的保护措施，以避免面临法律责任。还应密切有效地管控合规性风险，以避免侵犯任何现有的版权、商标或其他知识产权，并减轻和消除与行业相关的合规性风险，例如适用于食品和饮料、汽车和零件、医疗等行业的合规性风险。总之，如果管理良好、协调良好，博物馆授权可以成为解开博物馆艺术品巨大潜力的关键工

具，可以成为产生和激发博物馆、被授权方、其他利益相关者和公众之间多层次合作和对话的动力。这将促使博物馆走向更高的高度，并可能使博物馆能够实现可持续发展。近年来国际博物馆日的重点是可持续发展。考虑到这一点，人们相信，博物馆授权可以成为支持博物馆的力量，并通过近年来的主题形成共同的线索，从 2004 年的博物馆和非物质遗产主题，到 2015 年的博物馆致力于社会的可持续发展主题，再到 2018 年的超连接博物馆：新方法、新公众主题。最新的 2019 年主题是博物馆作为文化中心：传统的未来。预计通过博物馆授权，博物馆可以变得更具互动性、灵活性、适应性和移动性，从而更加贴近大众，对日常生活更有意义，不仅可以在现在感受和体验传统，更可面向未来重新发明和重新创造。非常希望博物馆授权可以让所有人受益，以遗产为基石，为子孙后代建立更美好的未来，不仅在中国，更在全世界。

HEAD 扩大中国业务领先的体育品牌 Head 正在继续借助新被授权方和新产品系列扩大其在中国的业务。 Global Fitness 是 Head 健身器材及健身配件在欧洲以及中国

体验中心的主要产品是直立自行车、电动跑步机、水上赛艇装备和瑜伽课程等。Head 表示，主要产品毫无疑问是赛艇装备。目前，大型体验中心的平均访客人数约为每月 50 名客户，小型体验中心为每月 30 名。客户测试机器后，可以从体验中心在线订购。另一个主要的被授权方是 Unicorn，这是 Head 在某些亚洲和中东国家/地区的箱包、行李箱、钱包和皮带的官方被授权方。 Unicorn 最近开始向中国销售，不仅是线上销售，还通过零售店销售。因此，他们现在开设了三家专门销售 Head 箱包和行李箱的零售店。这些零售店于 7 月和 8 月开和韩国的被授权方。Head 与一业，分别位于上海、武汉和广州。家名为 Hanna Health Tech Co Ltd 的分销商合作，他们正在中国宁波分销 Head 健身系列产品。此外，他们还通过天猫和宁波及上海的体验中心与区域分销商合作。两个体验中心的面积从 120 平方米到 432 平方米不等。想法是电子商务在中国很受欢迎，消费者可以在网上购买所有东西。然而，货物可能很昂贵并引起消费者的疑虑。因此，为了缓解这个问题，体验中心允许消费者感受、触摸和测试机器。Head 表示，大多数访客在测试后最终会购买机器。

Unicorn 携手 Head 的当地球拍运动分销商 Playnow，旨在零售和天猫方面开展合作。因此，店中店不仅销售箱包和行李箱，还销售网球拍和网球袋。根据 Head 授权副总裁 Giuseppe Faranna 的说法，“ 我们的想法是将耐用品和软商品结合起来，以提高通常不是网球运动员或网球客户的客户的品牌认知度。对于那些通过网球了解这个品牌的客户，他们可以通过查看与著名的玩球品牌关联的官方球拍和行李箱来建立联系。” 这种合作甚至适合线上，因为天猫的任何球拍订单都将由 Unicorn 转发给 Playnow，之后 Playnow 将从自己的配送中心履行订单。

HEAD GROWS BUSINESS IN CHINA Leading sports brand Head is continuing to grow its business in China with new licensees and new product lines. Global Fitness is Head’s fitness equipment and fitness accessories licensee in Europe as well as China and Korea. Head works with a distributor called Hanna Health Tech Co Ltd and they

center and 30 for the smaller sized experience centers. Once customers have tested the machine(s), they can order online from the experience centre. A further major licensee is Unicorn, Head’s official licensee for bags, luggage, wallets and belts in certain Asian

are distributing the Head fitness range from Ningbo in China. In addition, they work with regional distributors via Tmall and via Experience Centres based in Ningbo and also in Shanghai. The size of the centres varies from 120 sq metres to 432 sq metres. The idea is that e-commerce is very popular in China and consumers can buy everything online. However, cargo can be expensive and cause concern amongst consumers. Therefore, to alleviate this issue, the experience centres allow consumers to feel, touch and test the machines. According to Head, most visitors end up buying the machine after they have tested them. The major products at the experience centers are Upright Bikes, Motorised Treadmills, Water Rowers and Yoga Sessions etc. According to Head, the leading products are, without doubt, the rowers. Currently the average number of visitors is around 50 customers per month at the bigger sized experience

and Middle East countries. Unicorn has recently begun to sell into China, not only online but also through retail shops. As a result, they have now opened three dedicated retail stores for Head bags and luggage. These were opened in July and August and are located in Shanghai, Wuhan and Guangzhou. Unicorn has teamed up with Head’s local racquet sports distributor, Playnow, in order to work together

at retail and on Tmall. As a result, the shop-in-shops are not only selling bags and luggage but also tennis racquets and tennis bags. According to Head’s Vice President of licensing, Giuseppe Faranna, “The idea is to combine hardgoods and softgoods to increase the brand awareness to customers who are not usually tennis players or tennis customers. For those customers who know the brand from tennis, they can make the connection – by seeing the racquets alongside the bags and luggage which are official and connected to the very well known tennis brand.” The collaboration is even working online as any racquet order on Tmall will then be forwarded by Unicorn to Playnow

and Playnow will then fulfill from their distribution center. “We believe that this is an outstanding example of collaboration between core products and licensed products,” continued Faranna. “Also, it’s a big deal to open bag and luggage stores for Head in China.”

With innovative concepts and dedicated brand support we jointly managed to establish the emoji brand as a true lifestyle brand across China.”

What exposure has the brand enjoyed in China?

Can you tell us some of the background to emoji? “Certainly. My personal background is from developing and publishing video games for over two decades. In 2013 the idea of creating the emoji® lifestyle brand came into my mind.

into shopping mall events and we have developed many activities. We have successfully conducted an emoji fitness day as well as an emoji run. The variety of emoji, the fact that the brand appeals to the entire family and the broad content spectrum makes the emoji brand the perfect brand for promotions.

What are your plans to further develop your business in China? “Looking at the size of the market we feel that we have just started to exploit the potential of the Chinese marketplace. Together with our agent Medialink we constantly analyse the gaps and potential and have set ourselves some high targets for the years to come. Personally, we see the biggest growth coming from the food and beverage category. In addition we also have an eye on the market for outdoor activities and theme parks.”

How important is China as a market for emoji moving forward? “The Chinese market is a highly important market for the emoji company. Chinese clients have very good taste and have executed some of the most beautiful FMCG´s with us.

They care a lot for detail and do take innovative routes with regard to the design, adding special features or elements and they are experts when it comes down to minimalistic designs. We are very happy with the products we have on shelf in China. Together with our agent Medialink we will continue to serve the market in all categories to ensure visibility and brand recognition for the emoji brand. Just recently we have signed an agreement to open up emoji brand tea stores all across China and Hong Kong which will give us – over and above the business - great exposure and interaction with the Chinese consumer. The first stores will open by the end of 2019 and the goal is to open up to 100 stores in the first five years, similar to what we aim for on with apparel brand stores. All these activities eventually lead to even greater emoji brand recognition and brand value. Next year we are going to see some really exciting collaborations which will truly have an influence on the Chinese market.”
