5 June 2013 (LONDON) — Bulldog Licensing, one of the UK’s leading licensing agencies, has announced that it is expanding into the US market through a brand new subsidiary – Bulldog Licensing Inc.

With an office in New York, the new company will be managed by Laurie Windrow as Managing Director.  Laurie has more than 20 years experience in licensing and is already a major figure in the US licensing sector having previously managed huge global brands such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Pokemon, Build a Bear Workshop and Discovery Channel. She has a considerable reputation in licensing and is already in advanced discussions with a number of major brand owners keen to work with the new company.

Although Bulldog Licensing Inc. has been established as a separate entity, the company will act as an extension of Bulldog in the UK and will also be working on behalf of Bulldog’s existing UK Licensors to help them enter the US market, where rights allow.
“Expansion into the US market is a great development for us, as it gives us a presence in what is the home of licensing, and it’s a real privilege to be working with Laurie. Her appointment maintains our strategy of retaining a boutique agency approach, even as we expand, by bringing in exceptional people to directly manage our day-to-day business,” says Bulldog Licensing’s Group Managing Director, Rob Corney. “This expansion comes at a particularly exciting time as the Licensing Expo is just around the corner, which will give us a chance to explore opportunities with brand owners across our newly broadened horizons!”
