Going for Style with Style Sisters

/0 Comments/in , /by

We’re pleased to announce we have secured the UK licensing rights to one of the country’s most sought-after aspirational lifestyle duo’s, Style Sisters.

In just two years the two long-term friends have shot to stardom and celebrity status with their fashion and interiors ‘know-how’, giving both interior and wardrobe advice that can transform the lives of their follower fan base and celebrities.  The appointment of Lisle Licensing will enable the Style Sisters to engage with consumers who are not only inspired by their style, but also aspire to their way of life by being able to purchase the duo’s own portfolio of home and lifestyle products.

Collectively, Gemma Lilly and Charlotte Reddington have more than fifteen years’ experience in the fashion and interiors and since forming Style Sisters they have notched up an impressive, and highly engaged, social audience thanks to enviable lifestyle and fashion images in collaboration with some of the UK’s best-loved celebrities including Amanda Holden, Rochelle Humes, Stacy Solomon and Billie Faiers.

With more than 206,000 Instagram followers, and garnering an average two thousand more week on week, means the stunning ‘sisters’ reach an incredible 14.4 million page impressions per week.* Affiliate product promotions with the likes of Swyft Home and Attic Self Storage have been integral to growth and procuring their own brand awareness as a result of follower and hyperlink interactions.

With their popularity continuing to grow licensing is the natural next step for the enigmatic friends.  Our team is focussing on building a Style Sisters’ lifestyle product range across furniture, home accessories, storage solutions, wallpaper/paints, candles and fragrance plus kitchenware and home textiles.

Commenting on their appointment Francesca Lisle, MD says:

“2020 has meant we’ve spent more time than ever in our homes which  has reignited the home styling and DIY sector.  The Style Sisters appeal to a broad range of ages with their enthusiastic passion for home styling and have a natural ability to engage with consumer tastes; we can’t wait to build a broad range of products that solidify their position as experts in their field.”

Commenting on the appointment of Lisle Licensing, Gemma Lilly & Charlotte Reddington said:

“We couldn’t be more excited about the next chapter of our journey, creating our own brand and products has always been the long-term vision and we couldn’t be happier to be working with Lisle so that they can help bring that vision to life.”

Magic Box to launch SuperZings Series 4!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The collectable toy specialist has announced plans for a fourth series of SuperZings, hitting shelves 23rd August.

SuperZings is the ‘hero vs villain’ pocket money range that sees everyday objects and food as collectable characters. Series 4 will see the introduction of 80+ new characters including rare and ultra-rare finds, with accessories and play sets adding new elements of gameplay to further evolve the world of SuperZings.

The eight new Blaster Jets vehicles (RRP £2) will take battle to the next level, as kids fire the weapon disc at an opponent to see who has the greatest superpower. Eight super-powered Mega Jets machines (RRP £4) are also available to collect. Kids can connect a Mega Jet to a Blaster Jet, press the launch button and knock out any enemies in the way.

The Starter Pack, priced at £5, contains three SuperZings, one exclusive metal Blaster Jet and an ultra-rare SuperZing, all housed in a special ultra-rare SuperZings bag. The £6 Danger Gang tins includes five exclusive Danger Gang Villains, while the Blister Blaster Jet pack (RRP £7) contains four SuperZings (one silver), a blaster slider and a blaster jet for quick fire action.

The toy range expansions for autumn/winter 2019 include the Kazoom Lab: Professor K Vs Engima, which sees the SuperZings fight for the Kazoom with battle weaponry and two exclusive characters, plus the Hero Monster Roller Truck. The truck, which comes complete with a built in blaster and two exclusive characters, lets SuperZings catch the Villains. Finally, the Power Tower playset allows SuperZings fans to propel their favourite character into the mouth of the tower. The set also comes with two exclusive characters.

The SuperZings range has exceeded expectations since launch at the beginning of 2018, with sales to date of over 11m units. Series 3 got off to an impressive start in February with sales up 125% on the Series 2 launch, driven by fans trying to find the new and elusive Mr King.

SuperZings Series 4 will be supported by a significant launch marketing campaign including TV, digital, social, unboxings, PR and webisodes to introduce the characters and their rivals as well as the full product range.

Julia Cake of Magic Box Toys commented: “We’re really excited about the fourth series of SuperZings. It is an innovative brand that continues to grow at a rapid rate. We know we have created a really likeable concept with a hugely popular theme. Each new series sees its own point of difference, and we are developing a strong licensing range with Lisle Licensing which offers the opportunity for SuperZings to grow even further.”
