Cloudco Entertainment‘s Tinpo is going into publishing.
Through a licensing deal brokered by The Point.1888, Hachette Children’s Group will adapt the CGI animated series from the company behind Care Bears for a publishing program.
“This is a wonderful start to what will be a successful licensing program for Tinpo and its owner, Cloudco Entertainment,” says Bethan Garton, retail and brand director at The Point.1888. “Publishing is a key pillar within the program, allowing the brand to reach an already loyal audience with some crucial products in a popular category.”
Under the new deal, Tinpo activity books, picture books, annuals, storybooks, and novelty books will be developed for young readers in the UK. Tinpo joins Pokémon, Rainbow Magic, and Beast Quest in Hachette’s licensed publishing portfolio.
The STEAM-infused show continues its international rollout with recent debuts in Japan and Latin America.
