CPLG Tapped as Degrassi Licensing Agent

BURBANK: Cookie Jar-owned Copyright Promotions Licensing Group (CPLG) has been appointed as the global licensing agent for the Degrassi television franchise, with lead categories to include apparel and publishing.

“We’re thrilled to represent one of the most successful teen TV franchises of all time as they celebrate their 30th anniversary,” said Cindy Davis, senior VP of licensing at CPLG U.S. “CPLG looks forward to bringing a variety of products to retail that will appeal to fans of all ages.”
