DCD Publishing are very proud to announce their appointment as the UK licensing agent for Donny Osmond for brand name and likeness through a unique deal which will also see Donny Osmond closely involved in the Puppy Love global merchandising programme.
When Michael Gottlieb heard Puppy Love for the first time in 1972 aged 11 and three quarters he had no idea the train of events that were to unfold. When he joined DCD Publishing as Head of Licensing and Music Merchandising in 2009, his first meeting was with Chris Wright, Chairman of Chrysalis which led to a Plush Puppy being developed that sang the original iconic hit Puppy Love in Donny’s own voice. Michael then presented one of the puppies to Donny himself in Las Vegas in 2010, which marked the first step to this significant partnership.
Donny stated, “This new partnership with DCD Publishing marks an exciting time for me and I trust in Michael’s vision to create and increase global branded awareness for Puppy Love and Donny Osmond. I’m happy to be part of a team that has exhibited such a successful track record.”
Michael Gottlieb, Head of Licensing and Music Merchandising, DCD Publishing, said: “I am very pleased to have the distinction of working with one of the true global icons of our time, and we also look forward to the promotional support Donny Osmond will bring to the global Puppy Love merchandising programme.”
