So here’s my BlogHer 2011 “Run Down” (yes there is a pun intended, reading this may just exhaust you!) One of the most exciting parts about BlogHer 2011 in San Diego, was for me, how much anticipatory excitement there was. There haven’t been any other professional conferences I can say I’ve been to that gave [...]
It didn’t take long from some great toy companies like Hasbro to get involved in the iPad app market.

Today I had one of the most memorable experiences of my life attending the Hasbro Showroom for Toy Fair 2011.

These snowy days in Boston have been filled with researching and planning our Toy Fair 2011 plan in New York City, starting February 12th through the 16th, 2011. Last year attending Toy Fair for the first time was such an exciting and overwhelming experience, as we were honored amongst the first to preview some of [...]
