Richard Gottlieb Launches Global Toy News
News and Views on the World of Toys
NEW YORK, May 4 -- Internationally-known toy industry expert and author Richard Gottlieb has launched Global Toy News, a website that combines commentary from Gottlieb and other industry experts with news and resource links covering the toy industry.
Gottlieb, who currently blogs for Playthings magazine, says Global Toy News is aimed at "toy and game manufacturers, retailers, inventors, designers, publicists, marketers, engineers and visionaries," and will offer a 360-degree view of the toy industry and the world in which it operates.
"Richard Gottlieb is consistently the most interesting blogger in the toy space," says Carter Keithley, president of the Toy Industry Association. "He offers new insights drawn not only from his extensive experience in the toy business, but also from diverse and eclectic influences. His observations are provocative, but always thoughtful and responsible. He is a good read."
Guest bloggers include Brian Maggio, president of Revenew Sales, a marketing company serving toy, game and gift companies; Bruce Lund, the owner of Lund and Company and inventor of TMX Elmo; Chris Bensch, vice president of collections and other experts from the Strong Museum of Play, Rochester, NY, Mary Couzin, toy inventor and executive director of the Chicago Toy & Game Fair and Tim Walsh, toy inventor and author of two books on the history of toys.
In addition to toy industry events, associations and other important resources, the website provides articles on the toy industry and news from around the world.
