Bluewater<\/strong>, for a slate of promotional activity. The collaboration begins with the theming of Bluewater\u2019s Green Flag award-winning nature trail.<\/p>\nChildren follow The Very Hungry Caterpillar trail map, along with branded signs, maps and floor stickers, to make their way around the paths. On route they will meet an insta-worthy wooden sculpture of the main character, and learn facts about the flora and fauna surrounding the centre.<\/p>\n
Upon completion of the accompanying quiz, children will receive an activity book based on the classic tale, which has sold over 51 million copies worldwide, from one of the brand\u2019s 32-strong licensing partners, Alligator Books, along with a cardboard Very Hungry Caterpillar hat.<\/p>\n
Further activity with Bluewater for the two-year deal includes in-mall costume character appearances, a half term story time event, and a photo opportunity at key seasonal times. A Giant Wiggle fundraiser \u2013 an event which has so far raised an incredible \u00a3301,000 for Action for Children \u2013 is also planned for spring 2020 at the prestigious mall.<\/p>\n
Retailers stocking The Very Hungry Caterpillar products within Bluewater, including Waterstone\u2019s John Lewis, Mothercare and WHSmith, will also be encouraged to get involved with promotional activations across key dates including VHC Day and World Book Day as part of the collaboration.<\/p>\n
The licensing campaign for The World of Eric Carle\u2019s The Very Hungry Caterpillar is managed in the UK by independent licensing company Rocket Licensing through the worldwide agent, The Joester Loria Group.<\/p>\n
Melissa Satterly, Brand Manager, Rocket Licensing<\/strong>, says: \u201cThe collaboration with Bluewater\u2019s nature trail is perfect for The Very Hungry Caterpillar as the setting has great synergy with the brand\u2019s values of exploration and nature, and it will help to encourage another new generation to love and share the evergreen story. The wider activity with Bluewater will help to support our loyal retailers and licensees in what is a very exciting year for the brand.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nOther key partnerships in place to celebrate the milestone anniversary of the Eric Carle bestseller include tie-ups with The Royal Horticultural Society, The Eden Project and Butterfly Conservation. There\u2019s also an enormously popular theatre show \u2013 The Hungry Caterpillar Live \u2013 for pre-schoolers.<\/p>\n
The family favourite Very Hungry Caterpillar metamorphosises into a consumer products brand incredibly successfully, with over 30 licensees on board including Rainbow Designs, Paul Dennicci, Bloom & Blossom, Amscan, Woodmansterne, and many more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
