The Judging Process

Inset: Just a small proportion of the products laid out ready to be judged. Left: Over 130 retailers, more than ever before, judged the product entries this year. Bottom: Argos’ Rebekah Higgs takes a closer look!

A strong awards programme is anchored by several key ingredients – a slate of strong entries, knowledgeable judges, commitment by the sector to self-nominate and a judging process with total integrity. The Licensing Awards 2016 satisfies all of these. Approaching 5,000 licensed products from hundreds of different companies were entered; a record 130 top retail buyers made up the product judging panel; a stellar line-up of licensed property and marketing campaign submissions were made online; respected industry stalwarts formed the validation panels – and the whole licensing industry gave its support, to arrive at the worthy winners and finalists. LSB explains the judging process of The Licensing Awards 2016. Left: The Licensing Awards website (developed by Bionic Communications) is home to the entry forms for all categories. Right: Primark’s Jocelyn Greenwood considers the Irregular Choice Star Wars shoes, one of the entries that made it into the finals.

About The Awards The Licensing Awards, (launched by Max Publishing, owners of the Licensing Source Book ten years ago) is the UK’s only dedicated licensing industry annual awards programme. The award categories recognise and reward excellence in licensed merchandise, retailing execution, licensed property management and marketing promotions. In addition, for the first time this year the Licensing Awards also encompass the LIMA Rising Star award, which recognises and rewards the achievements and potential of young licensing professionals under 30 years of age. The judging process for each of the five different categories of awards (ie product, retailing, property, marketing communication and Rising Star) differs in each case, duly tailored to arrive at the credible finalists and winners.

The Product Award Categories Who Entered? Licensees and licensors were invited to enter product ranges that had been launched into UK retail (or significantly modified) in year June 1 2015 to May 31 2016. All entries had to be licence-specific (ie based on one licensed property) and each entry was for a range, rather than a specific item. The only exception to this was the Innovation Award, which could be for a specific item. LICENSING AWARDS 2016

Arriving At The Finalists

Inset: Above: Among the judging panel this year were (left-right) Rachael Flowers (Tesco), Alex Jones (GameStop), Rachel Hevicon (WHS), Andrea Gornall (Shop Direct), Lawrence Burns (Forbidden Planet) and Lisa Rutherford (JLP). Left: Asda’s Nic Rogers and Sarah Crenvell (GIG) are all smiles.

How Were The Entries Judged? The judging for the product categories took place on a single day in July at the Emirates Stadium, which saw several of its pitch-side suites transformed into a veritable ‘department store of licensed products’! All entries were displayed by product category, each clearly labeled with a unique entry number and RRPs for the products. The judges individually considered all entries in each category against the criteria of the excellence of design, innovation and originality; consumer targeting and quality of manufacture and packaging. They then individually selected what they deemed were the five best entries in that category. A judging form was completed by detailing the corresponding entry numbers in order of merit on the form. Points were then awarded accordingly; five points assigned to the entries judges felt were the best in the category down to one point for the fifth choices. The points from all the judges’ forms were then amalgamated to arrive at the winner and five other finalists for each category. The Innovation Award differs slightly from the other product category awards in that it could be for a specific product (rather than a range). For this award judges were asked to view the entries for their innovative quality – either in the product’s design, manufacture or application of a licence. As Ian Hyder, joint md of Max Publishing, which owns the Licensing Awards, said: “The judges definitely had their work cut out for them this year, but they rose to the challenge wonderfully. Not only did we receive more entries than ever before, but the product innovation and diversity of licensed properties featured were off the scale.”

Who Judged The Entries?

Below: M&Co’s (left-right) Laura Jolley, Ashley Duggin, Charlotte Dent considering the entries in the preschool apparel category. Below left: Sainsbury’s Pete Selby has a close up look at one of the toys or games entries.

The entire responsibility of judging the entries to the Product Award categories of this year’s Licensing Awards lay in the collective hands of this year’s judging panel. This year some 130 different retail buyers (from right across the retail spectrum and from different buying disciplines) formed the official judging panel for the product categories. This year’s Judging Panel comprised buyers from Argos, Asda, B&M, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Debenhams, The Entertainer, Forbidden Planet, Game, GameStop, Halfords, House of Cards, John Lewis, M&Co, M&S, Matalan, Mothercare, Next, Paperchase, Paultons Park, Photobox, Primark, Sainsbury’s Shop Direct, Smyths, Specsavers, Stanfords, Tesco, Toymaster, Truffleshuffle and WHSmith, as well as specialist independents. All retailers who are part of the BLE Retail Mentoring programme were all invited to join the judging panel.

Arriving At The Finalists The Property Award Categories Licensors and brand owners were invited to enter the Best Licensed Property Award categories by making online submissions to a dedicated website. The submissions demonstrated how well the property had performed over the last year against a set of criteria. A wide panel of knowledgeable licensees and retailers (from a number of different disciplines) were then invited to consider these online submissions before giving their confidential votes for what they consider have been the top licensed properties over the last year. These votes were then validated by industry experts.

The Retail Award Categories The finalists in the retailer award categories this year were arrived at as a result of an exhaustive nomination/self-nomination process followed by validation by a panel comprising over 20 top industry experts (both licensees and licensors). Thousands of nomination forms were sent out to manufacturers, suppliers and importers of licensed products inviting them to state, in their opinion, which three retailers have excelled in their retail delivery of licensed merchandise to the public in the year to May 31 2016. In addition, retailers were encouraged to self-nominate, and a number did so, detailing their achievements and progress on the licensing front. The consolidated results of this nomination process as well as the self-nominations were presented to a panel of industry experts. The retail validation meeting of this panel, chaired by Ian Downes (md of Start Licensing), resulted in the finalists and outright winners of the retail categories. New for this year is the Best Retail Licensed Execution award which is for some specific licensing activity or promotion undertaken by a retailer.

The 2016 Retail Validation Panel The 2016 Validation Panel for the retail categories comprised: (featured in the image above, clockwise from bottom left): Gurdev Mattu (Fashion UK) Adam Reed (Nickelodeon) Richard Hollis (DreamWorks) Mel Beer (Amscan) Susan Bolsover (Penguin Ventures) Anne Bradford (TVMFashion Lab) Tim Kilby (Character World) Tim Juckes (Saban Barnds) Terry Lamb (Corsair) Sagar Brahmbhatt (BB Designs) Anthony Temple (Rainbow Designs/Dri) Andrew Carley (eOne) Stephen Gould Mordy Benaiah (Pyramid) Trevor Jones (Danilo) Aysha Kidwai (Disney) Ian Downes (Start) – chairman (Ian Hyder (LSB) was present, but only as an observer) Paul Hodgson (Forever Collectibles) Preston Kevin Lewis (Warner Bros) Emma Stocking (Hasbro) * Graham Saltmarsh (Cartoon Network) was also part of the panel, but does not appear in this photo.

The Best Marketing Communications Award Reflecting the increased activity on the promotional side, the Best Marketing Communications Award is for the best use of a character, celebrity or property to promote another product (eg via an on-pack Above: Members of the Best Licensed Marketing Communications promotion, sponsorship, TV Award Judging Panel. advertising or posters. It could also be the use of a character to promote a charity, or charitable event.) Entries were submitted online which were considered by members of a judging panel which comprised executives from the promotional, marketing, licensing and advertising fields.They considered entries against criteria, which included the objectives of the promotion, the creative use of the licence and the campaign execution. The entries were then discussed at a judging session to arrive at an overall winner and the other four finalists. The Judging Panel for this award was chaired by Richard Pink, director of promotions specialist Pink Key Consulting (pictured top) while the judging panel for this award category included (from top down) Libby Grant (CPLG), Alex Ward (Lime Communications), Ian Morton (Fox), Pat Reading (UMI), Clare Piggott (consultant) and David Lawrence (TCC Global). Other panelists (not pictured) were Kelvyn Gardner (LIMA) and Martin Croft (The Institute of Promotional Marketing).

Rising Stars In The Cosmos Now in its third year, the LIMA UK Rising Stars award is designed to recognise excellence among junior licensing industry professionals (under the age of 30 years old). Nominations were sought from throughout the industry with the finalists decided by a panel discussion instigated by LIMA. For the first time this year, this LIMA award will be presented as part of the Licensing Awards, with each of the six nominees receiving a free ticket to the event.

Making A Grand Enterance

A Head For Heights The Licensing Awards really would not happen without the support and endorsement of the leading companies who make up the strong roster of sponsors and associate sponsors. At the top of the tree is headline sponsor, Brand Licensing Europe, which had no hesitation in pledging its commitment again this year. As Anna Knight, brand director of Brand Licensing Europe summed up: Above: Headline sponsor of “We’re delighted to take part in The the awards, UBM’s Laura Licensing Awards as headline sponsor Freedman-Daag (2nd left) and Rhiannon Stubbs (4th right) once again this year.

Amscan’s amazing balloons won’t be the only ‘inflatable’ at the Awards as floating high above everyone will be an extraordinary ‘blimp’ – well, Bladez Toyz (sponsor of the blimp) like to be known for thinking ‘outside the box’ on the remote controllables front! It will be moving around the room, hovering above everyone with its camera focused on the tables with the imagery shown on the big screen – so don’t talk with your mouth full!

Table Talk It will be a case of “Izzy wizzy let’s get bizzy” to find where you are seated, thanks to the Sooty-sponsored illuminated table plans (thanks Brands with Influence). Then, having made your way down the grand staircase you can trust the table numbers (they are sponsored by licensing law specialists 24IP after all).

And there will be some Kinnerton sweet treats for everyone at the end of the meal. Seen the amazing raffle prizes, but forgot to bring a pen? Never fear, Blue Sky Designs used a bit of its ‘blue sky thinking’ to supply a great Star Wars Light Saber pen for everyone.

Tim-eing Is Everything The master of one-liners, comedian Tim Vine is quick-witted enough to keep up with the licensing-ites making him the ideal host for The Licensing Awards 2016. And, ensuring that ‘all the balls are kept up in the air’, this year Alan Dedicoat is on hand, the legendary ‘voice of the balls’ from the National Lottery, to keep up the commentary.

Spreading The News Ensuring that everyone is in the right place at the right time has been down to a great bunch from the extended communications team. Helping to build the momentum in the run up through blogging, blasting and tweeting has been Kilogrammedia (PR sponsor, headed up by the one and only Jane Garner). And the techno wizards aka the Bionic boys have kept up the pace on the website. Meanwhile on the night Blue Kangaroo Designs has sponsored the Tweetwall at the awards.
