In this special edition of License Global, we pay tribute to those who have shaken up brand licensing with our annual report, The Influentials. This year, we honor those who have taken the road less traveled or made bold choices that have left a lasting impact on the business of brand licensing. The issue also features must-read insights on the 90-year history of Betty Boop, the rapid global expansion of Line Friends and a look back at the top retail activations of the year.
