#76: The Art of Pitching and Pivoting In Toys and Entertainment


Listen Later

For today’s episode of the show, I invited three of my star students of Toy Creators Academy to be guests on the podcast to share their experiences pitching their ideas right to major toy companies.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear understanding of what it takes to pitch your toy ideas in a virtual event, you’ll learn some lessons, and be inspired to take action whether you’re a toy inventor or toy entrepreneur. Today you will meet Ruthie Wallberg, Kieche O’Connell, and Pamela Salmon as they talk about the process of developing, pitching, pivoting, and pitching again.

2 of the 3 students you’ll meet in this podcast episode had no toy experience or no pitching experience before the TCA Virtual pitch event but now they feel confident, and hopeful as they move forward with their ideas. If you are interested in pitching your ideas to toy companies, distributors, or publishers, in the kids’ product space, then I suggest you pop in your earbuds and hit play right away.
