Hasbro backs Rising Stars category of Mojo Nation 100

Hasbro is sponsoring the Rising Star category of the 2019 edition of the Mojo Nation 100.

The Mojo Nation 100, in association with Wynne-Jones IP, is a listing of the most influential figures currently working in the world of toy and game design across five categories: Rising Stars, Research & Development, Design Agencies/Invention Studios, Freelance and Design Champions.

“Hasbro is thrilled to participate in the Mojo Nation 100 and sponsor the Rising Star category,” said Rich Mazel, senior director of global product acquisition at Hasbro.

“As a company, we believe that diversity of thought leads us to the most exciting creative solutions. Celebrating new talent and inviting new voices to the table is imperative to keeping our business exciting and fresh. We couldn’t be happier to celebrate all of this year’s Rising Star nominees.”

The Mojo Nation 100 in association with Wynne-Jones IP will launch at UK Toy Fair, and be available from the Mojo Nation stand at GH48. It will also be available to pick up at the Toy Inventors’ Dinner, Spielwarenmesse and US Toy Fair.
