We are extremely excited to extend our relationship with Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN). Their strong portfolio, innovative and professional approach to the business and their top-notch team make this an extremely compelling opportunity. We look forward building their presence in the Nordic and CEE markets to further maximize the power of their brand portfolio.. We will focus on broadening the licensee base, and driving marketing opportunities for their retail presence."
