All characters are represented exclusively under license and a further easing of COVID restrictions has provided an opportunity for leisure attractions, shopping centres, retailers and festivals to draw footfall and bring customers back to the community. Experiencing first-hand cartoon celebrities is a magical experience for families and Rainbow are delighted to continue to create this sense of wonder and happiness.

“Consumers are showing greater confidence going back to pre-pandemic behaviours and a face-to-face meeting with their favourite TV character is a compelling reason for a family day out.” Comments Head of UK Sales, Chris Stanton. “And with activations such as character trails, narrations and mini-shows adding value to meet and greet appearances, audiences are experiencing an even greater sense of involvement and interactivity through these events.”
