Moomin launches a new global site - Moomin.com
The Moomin books are enjoyed by both children and adults around the world. With the new site, Moomin Characters wishes to engage the global Moomin fanbase and offer a new digital perspective on the popular Moomin brand.
- The new site will be the center of Moomin’s presence online. For people who both want to buy beautiful things and enjoy the stories about Moomin, they now have one place where they get it all. There is no need to leave moomin.com said Roleff Kråkström, managing director at Moomin Characters.

- We wanted to create a world you'd really like to step into. Moomin is a very aesthetic brand, it has depth in happiness and sorrow, it's about timeless stories which work for generation after generation. We really wanted to create something that's true to the original Moomin spirit. There's one moomin.com and shopping is built in as a natural part of the site, said Sami Keinänen, creative director at Motley Agency.
- Our licensing program has experienced tremendous growth, now with over 450 licensees so far. The Official Moomin site will be an important gathering place for our licensees, our fans and of course play along with our brand strategy, said Gustav Melin, International Licensing Director Bulls Licensing (worldwide agent).
