Toronto-based 9 Story Brands, the licensing division of 9 Story Media Group, has partnered with New York-based Retail Monster to expand four of its brands in the US—Colorforms, Ladybird Lu, Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum, and Karma’s World.
Retail Monster’s innovative licensing approach proved prescient in 2020. Client partners captured significant growth across omni-retail. Brand Licensing: Retail Monster’s globally recognized IP partners each debuted meaningful e-commerce & brick-and-mortar experiences, including a Walmart exclusive program that was the most-read Kidscreen story of 2020 that featured in-game marketing and digital unlockables; & promotional programs with Vlad & Niki that drove 200+ million views. RSM: Retail Monster delivered best-in-class programs for Crayola and Hasbro at Walmart, Target, CVS, Meijer, & more.
Mattel inked a multiyear global licensing deal to roll out a full range of toys inspired by Karma’s World, the new CG-animated series created by Chris “Ludacris” Bridges (The Fast Saga, Crash).
