04/20/11

Who Knew?Creative Properties is pleased to announce that it will represent Who Knew? for licensing. Line extensions are planned for the series of best-selling books featured on HSN and in bookstores nationwide. Created by consumer advocates and thrifty parents Jeanne Bossolina Lubin and Bruce Lubin, the books offer money-saving tips and recipes that are enormously popular with consumers. Who Knew? is the bestselling book series in HSN history, selling more than 500,000 copies nationwide.

"This is the perfect time to roll out a property that saves consumers money," says Steven Scebelo, Creative Properties principal. "Who Knew? resonates with savvy, budget-conscious consumers and has generated a loyal following, particularly among moms and other women. We're looking forward to leveraging this brand and taking it to a new level of merchandising."

Creative Properties plans brand extensions in a wide range of product categories, including household products like "green" cleaning supplies, kitchen gadgets, storage containers, DVDs, paper products, package goods, simple baking kits, home décor and gardening tools. A production partner will also be sought for a mall tour that replicates the on-air Who Knew? demonstrations Bruce Lubin performs live as an HSN personality.

Co-creator Bruce Lubin appears regularly on HSN and the property enjoys a strong online presence on their website, www.whoknewtips.com, as well as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Blogger and other social media outlets. Especially popular among women, ages 25-54, Who Knew? products consistently receive a 4-star and higher rating (out of 5 stars) on HSN.com.

Creative Properties is a full-service licensing company based in the New York metropolitan area, with a long, successful track record on a wide range of classic and contemporary properties. In addition to Who Knew?, Creative Properties is currently licensing Girl Scouts, Bunnies by the Bay, the classic children's storybook Corduroy, supermodel Emme and the art of avant pop artist Peter Mars.
