Toy World is sad to report that licensing PR guru, Jane Garner of Kilogram Media, has passed away after a short illness.

Jane spent her career in the PR side of the licensing community. She initially ran the PR department at Copyright Promotions (now CPLG) before setting up her own agency, Kilogram Media, which specialised in supporting licensors and licensing agents from both the UK and international market.

Throughout her career, Jane was ever-present at licensing shows and events across the globe, and numerous people from the licensing community will have spent many an enjoyable evening in her company.

In her personal life, Jane was a big animal lover, with both dogs and horses playing a huge part in her life – Jane often proudly shared the latest pictures of her animal friends before starting to talk business at the shows.

A respected professional, over the years, Jane has made many friends within the licensing community, and our thoughts are with them, as well as her family and Kilogram colleagues, at this sad time.

Toy World will share details of Jane’s funeral, which is currently being arranged, as soon as they are available.
