Bumper new issue also comes with a special 36-page Nickelodeon publication.
The summer 2018 edition of Licensing Source Book Europe is now available to read online.
The issue is packed full of exclusive content, covering every aspect of the licensing industry.
It is accompanied by a 36-page Nickelodeon special publication which takes a look at key brands including PAW Patrol, Shimmer and Shine, JoJo Siwa, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Nella the Princess Knight, Slime, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Rusty Rivets.

Here’s a taster of what’s included in the summer 2018 edition.
We ask a collection of key licensees for their views on the current retail landscape and how they see the future of licensed product on the high street and online, while we take a closer look at two key trends: the high profile environment issue and feelgood brands.
We take a look at five new brands which originated from outside the UK, but are now beginning to make their mark over here, while we find out more from Cartoon Network’s Graham Saltmarsh about the plans behind Rick and Morty.
We also have a plethora of exclusive interviews including emoji, Nerf, Platinum Films, Peanuts, Vivid and The FA.
And, of course, it wouldn’t be the summer edition without a focus on Licensing Expo. As well as speaking to the show’s Jessica Blue, there is also an eight page preview of some of the key exhibitors.
On top of this, Rockpool Licensing’s Vickie O’Malley gives her recommendations for some offbeat downtime activities.
There are also the regular contributions from NPD, Ian Downes and David Riley, plus if you couldn’t make it along to last month’s Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards, we present all the winners and pictures from the event.
