“The strategy we developed to launch SpacePOP, from utilising YouTube as our launch media partner to the creation of a fashion-forward marketing and retail strategy and harnessing the power of today’s top media influencers, has engaged millions of young girls,” said Stone Newman, president of global consumer products, worldwide content sales and marketing for Genius Brands.

“The key elements of SpacePOP – music, friendship, fashion and adventure – across cultural boundaries, and we have no doubt that Luk Internacional will create a program that equally resonates with tweens throughout Spain, Italy and Portugal.”
