Ahead of BLE 2024, in an exclusive interview with Licensing Magazine, Laura Decaluwe, Product Manager at Clavis Publishing, shared insights into the company’s innovative approach and future aspirations.
Why has Clavis Publishing decided to exhibit at BLE?
Clavis Publishing, one of the leading children’s book publishers in Belgium, the Netherlands, and the USA, is excited to exhibit at BLE for the first time, to connect with new partners. With over 40 years of experience and a trusted reputation in over 62 language markets, Clavis is known for its high-quality co-editions and sales of book rights. Children are at the heart of everything we do.
What will be your main focus at the event?
We’ll focus on two of our adorable superstars: Little White Fish and Little Mouse. Both of them have already been beloved characters for many years, and we’re confident that they’ll conquer even more hearts in the years to come. Attendees are encouraged to visit our booth E182 to learn more.
What are the biggest challenges and opportunities in the licensing sector, and how is Clavis Publishing addressing them?
The biggest challenge will always be to select the right partnerships, with manufacturers that believe as strongly as we do in the importance of putting the children at the center of everything we create. By focusing on this core value and partnering with like-minded companies, Clavis Publishing aims to mitigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities in the licensing sector in the coming months and into 2025.
