Lemony Snicket Sees First-Ever Licensing Program

JLKBrand has announced it will represent Lemony Snicket A Series of Unfortunate Events in its first ever licensing program. Lemony Snicket is the author of 13 middle school books featuring three likable but unfortunate children, Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire.

First published in 1999, this series continues to resonate with readers everywhere and has sold over 65 million copies worldwide and is published in 41 languages. Readers find the storylines mesmerizing and the storyteller…brillant, funny, terrifying, captivating, profound and irreverent all at the same time.

While in a “normal” non-pandemic year, Lemony Snicket seems to hit all the right notes, this past year in particular has offered an opportunity to appreciate the light in darkness that Lemony Snicket’s dark humor can offer:

“When things don’t go right, go left.”

“If you are allergic to a thing, it is best not to put that thing in your mouth, particularly if the thing is cats.”

“Reading is one form of escape. Running for your life is another.”

JLKBrand’s program will focus on the editorial and quotable content of this wildly popular collection of books which has created a cottage industry of online quote collections. There are literally thousands of quotes from these books that cover any emotion or situation you can imagine and will elevate all categories of licensed products.

Categories available for licensing will include promotions, apparel, games/toy, stationery/back to school, gift, home goods, etc.
