The deal means emoji has 33 active licencees in the UK which are partnered by Bravado, the UK and Nordics agent for the brand.
The range is a big step in the UK licensing programme for the company, as the health and beauty product category has been a major target for development for emoji.
The range will be launching in 2019 and includes toiletries, dental products and accessories which “bring the emotive language of emoji to life”, according to the brand.
Gen-Z and younger
The Gen Z generation, who were born between 1995 and 2010, has been identified as sharing new millennial values, such as eqEmoji companyuity and individuality, and an eagerness to add colour and play to their personal care solutions.
Highly digitally-connected, this generation grew up with the internet in full flow, and as a result, brands that are associated with the social, fun, shareable nature of some elements of the web are often crowdpleasers among this younger generation.
The emoji company offers a good example of this.
