New
Media Merchandise Licensing - Exploiting Parallel
Merchandising Opportunities with New Media Developments
As a division of AT New
Media, the AT Merchandise division primarily
offers a representation service for intellectual
properties emerging specifically from all sectors
of the new media markets - including interactive
and video gaming, mobile, interactive television,
online, etc. - and translating them into merchandising
opportunities and revenues.
In addition to this, AT Merchandise offers its
services to companies who are looking to utilize
new media and interactive avenues to regenerate
classic characters and introduce new characters
through exploiting merchandising opportunities
that go hand in hand with new media developments.
AT Merchandise recognised the potential of 'The
Annoying Thing' a.k.a. Crazy Frog long before
it became a ring tone and built one of the world’s
fastest growing and most lucrative merchandise
licensing campaigns.
AT Merchandise now represents additional interactive
characters worldwide, which are emerging from
this exciting new media market.
We license manufacturers to produce all types
of fantastic products for sale throughout the
world in retail and leisure outlets, from Plush
and Clothing to Gadgets and Games and are always
open to talk to brand owners and creators about
the possibilities that lie in Character Licensing.
All the images/logos below are representative of brands we have worked on in the interactive and new media space, they are only a small part of our extensive portfolio. Please contact us for information on all current opportunities.


- Merchandise licensees produce
consumer goods including
clothing, toys, books, shoes, bags, bedding,
lunch-kits, posters, badges, etc.
- They have supply contracts
enabling them to distribute to consumers
via major retail and mail order companies
- Licences for famous brands
enable merchandise licensees to be
competitive and to increase sales
volume and value
- Traditionally, merchandise
licensees rely upon licensing ‘old
media’ brands such as movies,
cartoons and books
The success of
Crazy Frog has proved to merchandise
licensees that they need to be alert
to characters emerging from the new media sector
and those successfully utilising new media avenues
to generate new opportunities
