The Copyrights Group Appoints International Licensing Manager
The Copyrights Group has appointed Kathleen Caper as International Licensing Manager. The internal promotion from Marketing Executive will see Kathleen focus on the licensing potential of both existing and emerging territories.
Kathleen has worked for Copyrights for over 6 years and her in-depth, broad licensing knowledge will stand her in good stead in the newly created role. She will work closely with Copyrights CEO, Nicholas Durbridge to develop licensing partnerships and opportunities, manage Copyrights’ network of agents, and appoint agents in new territories to represent the brands and properties that Copyrights represents.
"With such a significant percentage of the Copyrights Group's income generated outside the UK, this appointment will further drive our international licensing activities and provide direct support to our offices and agents in different markets," commented Nicholas Durbridge.
"In an increasingly global market licensing agents need to be focused on both local and international opportunities,” said Caper. “I'm looking forward to assisting Copyrights' offices and agents in their local territories, improving international distribution for our licensees and opening business opportunities for our portfolio in new and emerging markets," she concluded.
Copyrights represents many properties on a global basis and over the next 6 months Kathleen with represent the company at international licensing forums and events in The Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Paris and New York.
