Jo Proud – Creator of the Mood Bears – will share the story of the brand in a session at this year’s Play Creators Conference.
Jo’s session, titled ‘The Mood Bears Mission’, will delve into the origins and ethos of the brand, and its journey to finding a home with TOMY.
The Mood Bears brand promotes mental health positivity through a line-up of soft toy bears, each linked to a different emotion. TOMY acquired worldwide rights to the brand last year.
This year’s Play Creators Conference is taking place at London’s Stamford Bridge Stadium on Wednesday, June 26th.
