Gibsons teams up with Krispy Kreme to launch jigsaw puzzle

Inspired by the doughnut brand, Gibsons has teamed up with Krispy Kreme to launch a brand new circular jigsaw puzzle.

Krispy Kreme is the UK’s biggest doughnut brand selling over 80 million doughnuts a year through its stores and cabinets throughout the UK. It is also an official Coolbrand – appearing in their top 100 for the last five years.

The puzzle captures the joy of Krispy Kreme in a puzzle form and comes packaged in the iconic Krispy Kreme tuck box. The puzzle consists of 500 unique pieces depicting the appetising doughnut delight.

“This jigsaw is an extra-special addition to the Gibsons range,” said Emily Charles, Gibsons’ recently appointed Product Development Manager. “It’s been almost five years since we last manufactured a circular jigsaw and a lot has changed since then. This new jigsaw cutter has allowed us to include some weird and wonderful shaped pieces, which makes piecing together the Krispy Kreme puzzle even more enjoyable. What’s more, the authentic tuck box creates fantastic on-shelf presence that really draws people in,” she added.

Suk Nicholas, Krispy Kreme’s Sales Director said, “The puzzle box is inspired by our popular tray of a dozen doughnuts. It’s been fun working with Gibsons’ to create it and we hope Krispy Kreme fans will enjoy it.”

Filled to the brim with famous flavours including Lemon Cheesecake, Strawberries & Kreme and Nutty Chocolatta, the Krispy Kreme puzzle is perfect for anyone who wants to dig in to a tasty treat.

 

It will be available to order from17 of July.

Lawless Ent. appointed worldwide rep for licensing, merchandising and publishing of Giving Tales app

Lawless Entertainment has been appointed worldwide representatives for licensing, merchandising, and publishing of GivingTales, the celebrity storytelling app for children and adults alike.  The entertainment company will also seek co-production and financing of the property.

Launched by Sir Roger Moore and friends in 2015, the beautifully illustrated GivingTales educational storytelling app was developed to entertain children, help improve their reading and learning skills as well as raise donations for Unicef.

“I think it’s terribly important that not only children be told stories, but they should start to read stories. Reading is the most important thing,” says Sir Caine, CBE.

“GivingTales is a truly unique property that is beautifully done,” says Cathy Malatesta, president of Lawless Entertainment.  “We are ecstatic to work with the team to further introduce the brand to the worldwide marketplace and expand the brand into publishing, and various categories of licensing and merchandising, as well as work together to obtain financing for an animated series based on the brand.”

With fairy tales from Hans Christian Andersen, children can read along and learn the core values these incredible tales teach such as bravery, selflessness, and compassion.

British stars of Film & Television including Sir Roger Moore, KBE; Dame Joan Collins, DBE; Ewan McGregor, OBE; David Walliams; Joanna Lumley, OBE; Stephen Fry; Sir Michael Caine, CBE; Charlotte Rampling, OBE; and Paul McKenna have come together to narrate this series of beautifully animated fairy tales exclusively for GivingTales.

The particular app is currently available on Apple, Google Play, Windows and Amazon app stores as well as in audio and video versions.

There are currently ten stories available for in-app purchase at $1.99 each. The app also features educational mini-games.

The GivingTales app offers subtitles in English, French, Spanish, Italian and German, with more languages to follow.

There is also a version available that features Chinese celebrities including Tao Hong, Song Yingjie, Liu Xiao Ling Tong, Han Qiaosheng, Hua Shao and Wang Han.

Toy company Hijinx partners with UK tech company Chirp

Chicago-based toy company Hijinx has partnered with UK tech company Chirp to create toys based on Netflix original series Beat Bugs. The multi-year, worldwide exclusive agreement will see the toy company use Hijinx Alive powered by Chirp to make products that are inspired by–and react to–the music-centric series.

The new Beat Bugs toys will sing along with the TV show and with each other in real time.

The series namely Grace: A Storytelling Company and Thunderbird co-produced with Beyond Screen Production features re-imagined versions of famous Beatles songs performed by popular recording artists like Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Vedder, The Shins and Robbie Williams.

Chirp’s proprietary technology encodes data into a series of pitches and tones that form a sonic barcode which is then interpreted by a receiving device.

In its partnership with Hijinx, Chirp customized its technology to interact with select audio from Beat Bugs. The toys recognize portions of the series itself, which means they are interactive without the need for traditional internet connectivity. As a result, Hijinx says the toys are safe and secure.

Retailers like Target in the US and UK-based Tesco will carry the upcoming interactive toys. Earlier this year, licensing company Centa IP and Australia’s Grace: A Storytelling Company partnered with both retailers to launch global consumer products based on Beat Bugs, including toys, publishing, consumer electronics, apparel and accessories.

Condé Nast taps Pacific Gateway to open permanent Wired store at New Jersey airport

Condé Nast has asked airport retail developer Pacific Gateway to launch a permanent Wired store inspired by the tech magazine at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.

The new Wired store will feature a curated collection of product offerings, including the latest gadgets and gear from the world’s “most sought after brands,” and is slated to open in early 2018 in Terminal B.

“The Wired store at Newark airport is a new milestone in bringing consumers the best in innovative products,” said Joe Waller, chief executive officer, Pacific Gateway. “Too often shops in airports are out of touch with the brands that are prescient today. Wired, with products taken straight from the pages of the magazine and website, will provide the experiential retail experience that today’s connected consumers demand when travelling. And this store will offer brands the perfect physical touch point to connect with the influential consumers traveling through U.S. airports.”

As a matter of fact, retail spending at airports is on the rise, while other areas of retail are challenged. Find out more about the current state of retail spending at airports, which rose to $38 billion globally in 2016, here.

Brand Central, Wired’s U.S. licensing agent, helped broker the deal.
