Hasbro navigates a changed toy market and macro uncertainty
The Media Leader Podcast
Brands are navigating choppy waters this year amid macoreconomic uncertainty, meaning media strategies are having to remain nimble and adaptable.
One brand that has an especially interesting challenge is Hasbro. The toy company owns a huge swathe of major brands and intellectual property — much of it primarily consumed by children — and managing the portfolio and different media tactics needed across those brands presents unique obstacles and considerations.
Jennifer Burch and Kristina Fields are both senior directors of global media at Hasbro. They join Jack Benjamin to discuss how they are currently working to balance investment across brand and performance media throughout their portfolio to appeal to kids through various media channels without explicitly targeting them.
The duo also speak about how they’ve been responding to the unpredictability of US president Donald Trump’s tariff plans, how their relationship with agencies has changed over time and the importance of brand safety.
