The B&LLA’s 2019 Finalists Revealed

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.”
