“We have decided to work with Brainbase as the platform is so user friendly,” said Marie-Laure Marchand, SVP Global Consumer Products & Business Development at Chefclub. “As a start up, we were looking for a system that could regroup all the key licensing phases, from contracting to royalty reporting as well as product approvals. Brainbase had the solution to all our requirements. Moreover, it is a great pleasure working with the team who is always very proactive and ready to implement new features to improve the experience.”

We are a family-run business, but that doesn’t mean we are small-time. We shook up the toy industry in 2014 with the global phenomenon Shopkins, and through these pint-sized characters, we reinvigorated the way children play. Not satisfied to stop at toys, we have also stretched ourselves into creating content, entertainment and making worldwide licensing deals. Moose calls Australia home, but our 500-strong team is scattered globally, spreading the Superhappy.
