#88: Virtual Pitch Event Stories from Students of Toy Creators Academy


Listen Later

Students of Toy Creators Academy join The Toy Coach on the podcast today to share their experience going through Toy Creators Academy, and ultimately pitching at the TCA Virtual Pitch Event. During this chat, Chrissy Fagerholt, Geordie Humphrey, and Scott Underwood share lessons learned, and achievements as new toy creators.

In this episode, hear specific stories about what it was like to virtually pitch to major toy companies like Hasbro, Mattel and Spinmaster. Chrissy shares her what it was like to work 1:1 with The Toy Coach to perfect ideas, Scott shares how he took a positive perspective after hearing “no” to his ideas, and Geordie shares how Toy Creators Academy and the TCA Virtual pitch event really helped him understand what the toy industry needs AND how to deliver that.

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of what it’s like to pitch virtually as a toy creator, and hopefully, you’ll sign up for the Toy Creators Academy launch party to learn and celebrate with fellow aspiring toy creators.
