Brands & Rights 360, a Spanish marketing platform specialized in the comprehensive management of brands and multimedia content, has recently signed three new agreements for the iconic Japanese series Campeones Oliver y Benji, which continues its journey in its licensing program: SD Toys, the Grup Erik Editores and Gambea, all of them for Spain and Portugal territories.
SD TOYS has just launched cases, purses, notebooks, masks and puzzles and plans to launch in the coming months its legendary collectible figurines of players, as well as keychains and a board game, for children to enjoy with their family with a classic game. SD TOYS was the first European company to develop and manufacture collectible figures based on TV and film characters, until now an exclusively American and Japanese market.
On the other hand, GAMBEA, a Valencian company specialized in socks designed for soccer teams such as Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad, Mallorca or Valencia, among others, has decided to bet on Campeones to begin its journey in the world of licensing entertainment, with a collection of three-quarter socks, with the designs of the teams and the protagonists of the series.
Gambea is a young company, with a commitment to sustainability, through the use of materials such as organic cotton or bamboo, and solidarity, forming part of the Common Goal movement, for which 1% of its annual income goes to social projects that use football as a catalyst.
The most recent addition to the brand is Erik Group, which will make “Campeones” posters to decorate the rooms of the youngest and followers of the legendary series of all ages. Campeones begins to integrate its portfolio of brands, always evolving according to market trends, among which are licenses as diverse as Disney, Real Madrid, Pusheen, La Casa de Papel or The Beatles.
These three new licenses join those signed between 2019 and 2020 by B&R360, for t-shirts and sweatshirts from Zara and Pull&Bear, and the classic Cosplay t-shirts, which reproduce those used by the players in the series and have been in the market for more than a decade and the Planeta Editorial collectibles, in force in LATAM, thus reinforcing the licensing program of the Japanese series.
