Maestro Media Insider: June Edition - The Smurfs, Hello Kitty, and Licensing Expo 2023

We are excited to share the latest news from Maestro Media. As we continue to build partnerships with globally recognized brands, we are working towards creating innovative and engaging experiences that bring beloved characters to your tabletop.

We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with IMPS/LAFIG, the IP owner of The Smurfs, to develop The Smurfs Hidden Village. This special project is a celebration of the enchanting brand's 65th anniversary and promises to be an extraordinary venture. We are proud to have partnered with renowned developers, Antoine Bauza, Corentin Lebrat, Ludovic Maublanc, and Théo Rivière, who bring their collective genius to transport the charming blue-skinned citizens of Smurf Village directly onto your gaming tables. Make sure to mark your calendars for October 2023, as the Kickstarter campaign for The Smurfs Hidden Village takes off, and anticipate the board game's release in retail stores in 2024.

In collaboration with Steve Gabry, we've introduced 'Strange Boxes'—an annual subscription program. This exclusive collection features twelve limited-edition t-shirts, each adorned with new Sally Face artwork from an array of remarkable artists. Each box includes captivating case files, a Meta Puzzle, and unexpected monthly surprises. Visit StrangeBoxes.com for more information.

We are excited to announce the development of a new game, Hello Kitty: Day at the Park. This delightful game, tailored for 2-4 players and suitable for ages 8 and up, is designed by the talented Roberta Taylor and developed by Jonathan Gilmour, Daryl Andrews, and Bobby West. Stay tuned for a Kickstarter campaign launching this September, where fans will have the opportunity to shape the final design of the game before its release.

At Maestro Media, we take great pride in our partnerships with iconic brands such as The Smurfs, Hello Kitty, The Binding of Isaac, and Sally Face. We are dedicated to transforming these original IPs into tangible and immersive experiences, ranging from captivating tabletop games to unique merchandise. All of our endeavors are united by our commitment to fostering community engagement.

As we embark on this exciting journey, I am delighted to announce that the Maestro team and I will be attending the upcoming Licensing Expo. We eagerly look forward to reconnecting with industry peers and forging new relationships. If you are planning to attend and would like to explore potential collaborations or simply have a chat over a cup of coffee, please don't hesitate to send me a direct message. Excited to see you at the show!

Stay tuned for more exciting updates from Maestro Media!
