Get ready to celebrate young talent in the brand and lifestyle licensing sector

This year will welcome a new accolade to the Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards: The B&LLAs Rising Star Award – sponsored by Brand Licensing Europe’s Retail Mentoring Programme.

The new award recognises and rewards excellence among ‘new to the brand licensing sector’ in the UK who have shown real potential in the continued evolution of the sector.

It is open to all young professionals aged 35 or under (on 27 April 2023) with up to five years working in the brand and lifestyle licensing sector.

Nominations are sought from the entire industry for these special individuals from the retailing, licensor, licensee or trade supplier sides.

Nominations will close on Wednesday 8 March. For all the details on entries, simply click on this link.

“We’re delighted to sponsor this new category at the B&LLAs. BLE’s Retail Mentoring Programme is all about showcasing the best of brand licensing to retailers who are either new to their role or new to licensing,” commented Laura Freedman-Dagg, head of retail, Brand Licensing Europe. “Over the years we’ve seen some exceptional people come through the programme, many of whom have gone on to brilliant roles in all areas of licensing.

“It’s a real honour to bring fresh talent into the industry and a rising star category couldn’t be better aligned with the Retail Mentoring Programme. This year we’re excited to bring a group of retail mentees to the awards to take part in a celebration of best in class brand licensing.”

The Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards 2023 will take place on Thursday 27 April at The Royal Lancaster Hotel, London.
