"We’re building the Waldo online ecosystem," Nicole Blake, svp of marketing at Classic Media/Entertainment Rights, tells Brandweek of taking the Where’s Waldo? franchise into cyberspace. Sounds like Ms. Blake is living the dream. The strategy: re-engage twentysomethings in the children’s-book character they grew up with, and sell them licensed goods.
