Industry gathers virtually to see Product, Property and Retail winners crowned, as well as the 2020 Brand Licensing Ambassador.
The winners of the 2020 Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards have been crowned at a special virtual ceremony.
The industry was brought together virtually on Monday, November 9, to find out the Product, Property and Retail winners, as well as the 2020 Brand Licensing Ambassador.
Nadiya Hussain shared her story from amateur baker to the development of her own licensing programme in a special interview for attendees, while Alan Dedicoat – the ‘voice of the balls’ for the National Lottery and Strictly Come Dancing announcer – acted as the official finalists’ announcer.
A strong roster of leading names formed an impressive roll call of sponsors, while the awards also had the full support of Brand Licensing Europe (headline) and trade body, Licensing International.
