Summer is here, and so is our sunny edition of the year. As always, our spotlight shines on the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, where we’ll be attending as proud Media Partners. Find us at booth #L244, and keep an eye out for our magazine distributed throughout the exhibition area.

This issue reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting the industry. From the latest trends to the key names and movements shaping the months ahead, we’ve curated content that captures the richness and dynamism of the licensing world.

Also, we continue our weekly programming with The Deep Media Pulse, our new podcast that bridges Licensing Magazine and The Animation Journal and focuses on decoding brands and content in this new, challenging era.

Our goal is to reach a wider professional audience across IP development in audiovisual, gaming, publishing, licensing, and beyond. This cross-platform, content-first approach is what the industry now calls transmedia — already the default for many leading brands, and an increasingly pursued direction for many others. For those still finding their footing, the podcast offers practical tools and market perspectives to help navigate it, whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out.
