By all measures, Hot Wheels is a brand success story. It’s sold in over 150 countries, has universal brand awareness and it's the best selling toy in the world. But the question is, how can the brand continue to be as iconic for the next 50 years as it was for the first 50? In a digital world of mobile phones and on-demand content, how can Hot Wheels compete with the infinite choices kids have?
Jason Horowitz, Senior Vice President of US Marketing at Mattel and Head of Global Digital and Media for Hot Wheels is my guest in this episode. Jason walks us through the year and a half long journey, he and his team went through to find the answer to those questions.
