Mojo Pitch

With nearly 15 years of toy design under his belt, James Austin-Smith is Head of R&D and Product Design at Moose Toys. Here we discover his pet peeve – and the one thing that stops his creative process…

“The September Mojo event has become a highlight in our calendar and we are really looking forward to returning to the pitch sessions for a third year,” said Moose Toys UK’s James Austin-Smith.

“Last year’s event was a big success for us and the inventors we represent, having signed license agreements for several of the concepts we ‘discovered’ there!” said Patti and Jonathan Becker.

“Spin Master is committed to supporting and championing the creative works of the global inventor community, which is why we’re excited to partner with Mojo Nation to bring the fun and the atmosphere of last year’s awesome stadium right to your homes!” said Spin Master’s David Winter.

“We are delighted and excited to be returning to our third Mojo Pitch; we have met so many talented and passionate game designers at these events,” said Daniel King, General Manager, UK at Cartamundi.

“Last year’s event in London was extremely productive for us and I am pleased to attend this year’s event, albeit from the comfort of my own home,” said PlayMonster’s Adam Hocherman.

“As a dynamic company with lots of experience in toy industry, we have to be in constant search for new concepts that could be suitable for our portfolio,” said Entertoyment’s Ogeday Samatli.

“We are returning to the Mojo Pitch this year as it was so fruitful for us last year,” said Wow! Stuff’s Head of Inventor Relations, Dr. Jim Wyatt.

“We are on the hunt for great product and are excited to be working much more closely with the inventing community,” said Jazwares’ Michael Rinzler.

“Having heard great things about the event in recent years, it was difficult to ignore for 2020,” said Lewis Allen, Product Development Director at Hacche Retail.
