Lisle Licensing welcomes Kate Smith Company to roster

Lisle Licensing has been appointed as the exclusive UK licensing agent for the humorous art and lifestyle brand, Kate Smith Company.

Based in the US, the company – which is behind the ‘From Frank’ brand – has briefed Lisle to replicate its North American and Canadian success in the UK, establishing it as a recognised uplifting, entertaining and positive brand with retailers and consumers.

Kate Smith Company specialises in social connections, with the simple objective of creating art and product to ‘make humans smile’.

Established in 2018 following the success of ‘From Frank’, it has amassed a broad collection of art that spans its iconic jokes, original character brands, phrases and art design that lend themselves to a variety of categories including publishing, greetings, stationery, home accessories, gifting and novelty.

Over the last two years Kate Smith Company has been listed in Target, Barnes & Noble, Whole Foods, Paper Source and Wal-Mart among others. It has partnered its designs with US greeting cards heavyweight, American Greetings, and in the summer launched an everyday collection in Target stores nationwide through Recycled Paper Greetings.

“We are thrilled to have been chosen by Kate & Ryan to exclusively represent their brand in the UK,” commented Francesca Lisle, md of Lisle Licensing. “It’s bold, fun, fresh, and already defined by its success in the US. If the world needs anything right now it’s the Kate Smith Company’s wicked sense of humour and bright bold art design to make people smile.”
