Nickelodeon announced the launch of a new global merchandising program at Licensing Expo in Las Vegas for Slime, the network’s iconic and beloved green goo. Nickelodeon will seek major merchandising and promotional partners, spanning categories including apparel, home furnishings, toys, consumer packaged goods and more.
“Slime is the ultimate badge of honour for kids and is recognised and loved by Nickelodeon fans of all ages,” said Pam Kaufman, Chief Marketing Officer and President, Nickelodeon Consumer Products. “It represents the playfully disruptive nature of being a kid, and so we are thrilled to expand its presence in the market and enable our fans to experience it in new and unexpected ways.”
