Thematic Family of Characters Will Employ Whimsy and Good Humor to Encourage Honesty, Caring and Sense of Community

Florence, KY Nancy Ficke, General Manager of award winning international Consumer Product Development and Branding Consultancy group Duquesa Marketing announced today that her team has been engaged to create, develop and launch at retail the Stickman Stew line of whimsical, thematic characters.

""Our client, Jane Guinn, presented to us a wonderful concept which she has nurtured to the point of being ready for commercialization," said Mrs. Ficke. "The family of characters is meant to convey a big-heartedness that is too often lacking in today's hurly burly world. Jane's Stickman and Stickgal Characters make people happy when they touch one and they grab you and make you think".

"Stickman Characters are happy to ride on your cars dashboard, practice yoga, sit on a child's backpack or perk up a workspace", said Alexis Bruning, V.P. of New Product Development for Duquesa Marketing."They can go anywhere and add a touch of humor and fun to each environment that they touch".

"The lineup of characters, their stories and names will be announced shortly", said Geoff Ficke, President of Duquesa Marketing. "Owing to Stickman Characters versatility in appealing to children and adults, the line will be marketed as both a toy and as a gift space item. When seen together, they are so cute that we don't anticipate too many people wanting just one Character, but purchasing the whole family".
