Leading licensing agent Born Licensing has launched its first ever creative campaign targeting UK adland. In a unique mash-up, the firm is deploying a crack team of well-known characters to challenge the can’t-do attitude the industry has relating to the use of licensed characters in creative campaigns.
In an industry first, Born Licensing illustrates the engaging use of characters in ads, bringing together SpongeBob SquarePants, Grumpy Bear from the Care Bears, ’90s icon Daria, a Ninja Turtle, Garfield, Beavis from Beavis and Butthead and Mr Grumpy from Mr Men and Little Miss. The bold creative tells the industry ‘Don’t Say Can t’ and encourages adland to explore the realms of possibility that come from licensing fictional characters to engage and connect with audiences.
