Stumble Guys Taps CAA Brand Management as Official Licensing Agency
LOS ANGELES – CAA Brand Management, leading entertainment and sports agency, announced today that it has been named the official licensing agency for Scopely’s multi-award-winning party battle royale game, “Stumble Guys.”
Under the agreement, CAA Brand Management will manage the “Stumble Guys” consumer products licensing and brand extension program in the U.S., UK, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, focusing on key categories, including apparel and accessories, back-to-school items, toys, housewares, and more.
This agreement with CAA Brand Management follows a momentous year for “Stumble Guys,” which saw the IP expand onto new platforms, forge partnerships with some of the most iconic franchises in the world, and extend into the consumer products space.
Scopely and PMI Kids World launched the first “Stumble Guys” collectible toy line in March 2024, which became a massive global success at major retailers including Wal-Mart and Target. Following positive fan reception, Scopely and PMI are now introducing a second series of collectible toys at Wal-Mart, once again transforming the game’s beloved roster of characters, or “Stumblers,” into new collectibles. The “Stumble Guys” universe has also extended into the physical world with trading cards (in partnership with Panini), stretchable toys (with Diramix) and more.
“Stumble Guys’” has evolved into a global gaming sensation, with more than 50 million players each month and nearly 700 million downloads. The game has continued to grow beyond mobile and PC to all major consoles, including Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, further increasing its popularity. We see significant potential to expand the game’s reach by extending the brand into the consumer products industry, aiming to create innovative partnerships across diverse product categories that appeal to both casual players and dedicated gamers alike,” said Noah Gelbart, President, CAA Brand Management.
“It’s been a landmark year for ‘Stumble Guys,’ both on and off the screen. Following our successful expansion to all consoles and the global launch of our toy line, we’re bringing ‘Stumble Guys’ beyond the screen and into the everyday lives of our players through this partnership with CAA Brand Management. With hundreds of millions of players around the world, the ‘Stumble Guys” brand continues to grow as we create even more ways for our community to enjoy ‘Stumble Guys’ wherever they are,” said Jake Bales, SVP and General Manager, “Stumble Guys.”
