Our Director, David Born has been named as one of the most influential people in licensing by Licensing.biz
Our owner and director, David Born, knows what he’s doing when it comes to licensing in advertising. He has facilitated some of the world’s best campaigns that have featured some of our favourite iconic characters, movie scenes and soundtracks.
Having worked in the entertainment brand licensing industry for over 14 years, David’s experience and network allow him to achieve great results for his clients time and time again. David is the former Head of Licensing for FMCG & Promotions EMEA at Cartoon Network and was also the Manager of FMCG & Promotions at Warner Bros. Australia. He knows the industry inside out and loves what he does.
He told Licensing.biz, “Everyone has their own unique story of falling into the licensing industry. I don’t think many people know it exists and when I walked into my job interview with Haven Licensing about 13 years ago in Australia, I knew nothing about licensing at all. It was only after doing the job for a few months that I realized just how lucky I had been to stumble into the industry. It’s such an incredible business and everybody in it is so much fun.”

The Licensing.biz Power 50, featuring the most influential people in licensing, was revealed at Brand Licensing Europe 2018. In the months leading up to the event, Licensing.biz tasked the industry with casting their votes for Power 50 listers across the five categories: Rising Stars, Licensees, Licensors, Licensing Agents and Licensing Legends. The industry responded in their numbers and sent an overwhelming number of votes for the people they believed to be pushing boundaries and driving innovation in the licensing space.
David was named as the number 1 agent and Robert Hutchins, editor of Licensing.biz said, “The response was crazy and whittling it all down to the final 50 during the course of an intense judging period was extremely tough”. The Power 50 also featured influential people from Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Rovio, The Pokémon Company and NBC Universal.
We are very proud of David’s achievements, it’s great to have him leading the team at Born Licensing.
