Journalists interviewed for this year’s video are Harry Wallop and Cassandra O’Donnell. Harry Wallop is a well renowned national newspaper journalist who has written for the likes of the Daily Telegraph, the Times and the Guardian as well as hosting documentaries on Channel 4. Cassandra O’Donnell has worked in television for ten years on programmes such as This Morning, Loose Women and the Jonathan Ross show.

Deeming commented, “We have created this video to provide an easy and interesting reference point for our exhibitors on the PR opportunities available to them at Toy Fair. I’d like to thank Harry and Cassandra for taking time to speak to us for this video and hope everyone finds their insights useful. We hope it inspires exhibitors to start preparing their exciting toy stories for Toy Fair.”
