Play Creators Festival

The talk will be helmed by Spin Master’s Tal Schrieber, alongside TIP graduate Vered Shapiro and Fun-damental Invention’s Gary Pyper and Fuse’s Chantal Drenthe, both contributors to the recent London course.

Panellists will be discussing how social virality influences the product selection process, the key to successful trendspotting and TikTok’s role in shaping trends.

Marking the opening night of Mojo Nation’s Play Creators Festival, the event takes place on Monday September 5th at Twickenham Stadium’s Union Ale House.

The Department specialises in designing multi-sensory, immersive experiences for some of the world’s biggest brands.

As well as designing games, Friedemann Findeisen­ has been a magician, songwriter, author and film composer.

“We look very much forward to meeting everyone from the inventor community in person again, making new connections within the industry and, of course, seeing great new concepts that hopefully can result in some winning products,” said Jumbo’s Floor Doggenaar.

The ‘Brand Designs’ panel will see Alpesh, Claire and Frederica discuss the key to designing great licensed toys and games.

“We’re incredibly excited to be back at the Mojo Pitch event again in 2022 and can’t wait to see what the inventor community have been working on,” said Lewis Allen, Product Development Director at Ginger Fox.

As we move towards better representation for all across toys, movies, books and games, TrendBible’s Joanna Feeley will explore the characters and stories set to resonate with the next generation.

“We are looking forward to connecting with new inventors, as well as seeing some great new innovations from the creative minds that we already love,” said Josh West, Head of Product Design and Inventor Relations at ThinkFun.
