Simon Tofield’s charming, black-and-white, animated Simon’s Cat site has reached one of YouTube’s greatest milestones – 1 million total subscribers. This places Simon’s Cat in a very exclusive club, one of only eight U.K. YouTube channels with over a million subscribers.The feat is made all the more eye-catching by virtue of the fact the Simon’s Cat
YouTube channel only has 23 videos, almost the lowest number of videos
with which a channel has made the million subscriber mark and been part
of Global Top 100 Channels on YouTube.“I’m really happy that Simon’s Cat continues to entertain so
many people,” says Tofield. “And I’m extremely grateful for the massive
support the fans have given me and the team since we started on
YouTube.”Tofield’s web series, which was first introduced in 2008, centers on a
hungry house cat who uses heavy-handed tactics to get his owner to feed
him. The cat has also been featured in several book collections.The phenomenal online popularity and huge international appeal of Simon’s Cat
has led to a raft of consumer products being launched globally. United
Agents appointed Zodiak Rights to build the UK licensing programme for Simon’s Cat in 2010 and the business continues to expand in 2012.Newly signed partners continue to extend the range of Simon’s Cat
products available. Licensees set to launch from A/W ’12 include:
Sharples ‘N’ Grant (pet accessories and products), Offshore
International (digital & mobile hard cases and skinz) and Bravado
(men’s & women’s t-shirts), with further apparel lines and online
personalized greeting cards set to launch early 2013.
