The finalists in the product, property and retail categories for the Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards 2019 have been confirmed, with Sara Miller London shortlisted in four categories: Best Brand Licensed Gifting Product or Range; Best Brand Licensed Fashion Accessories or Lifestyle Product or Range; Best Brand Licensed Health & Beauty Product or Range, and Best Licensed Fashion or Talent Brand.
The B&LLAs shine the light on all aspects of brand licensing, giving a platform for non-entertainment properties to be celebrated. These include lifestyle brands, as well as corporate, food and drink, heritage, fashion and talent among others.
“Now in its fourth year, the B&LLAs continues to go from strength to strength,” comments Ian Hyder, joint managing director of Max Publishing, which organises and owns the B&LLAs. “The quality of entries across all the categories has once again been outstanding and really showcases just how much the brand licensing sector has flourished over the past year.”
