00:00What new technologies is Mattel using?
00:03Yeah, we're working across a bunch of different tools,
00:06and I do want to reinforce that these are tools
00:08for our incredibly talented creative teams
00:11to accelerate work, improve productivity,
00:16but certainly at this point not replace
00:17that important human talent and, again, creative instinct.
00:22Really finding nice success with packaging.
00:26With a lot of our products, the package is about storytelling,
00:30and so you can imagine Barbie with a career.
00:35She might be a veterinarian,
00:38and so we can prompt Adobe Firefly
00:40to help us create some scenery and storytelling art
00:44to reinforce that, which is a great starting place.
00:47We're finding it to be really helpful also
00:49for initial inspiration, mood boards.
00:52You know, we're working with Fisher-Price on new sensory toys,
00:55and we can prompt sensory,
00:57we can prompt, you know, color palettes
01:00that are popular, popular developmental toys,
01:03and we'll get a bunch of great inspiration
01:05that starts as sort of a mood board
01:07for our design team to generate against.
01:10Can you tell us a little bit more
01:11about how Mattel is celebrating your birthday this year?
01:14What are you guys doing to celebrate and commemorate
01:16the years that you've been in the toy business?
01:18Oh, my goodness.
01:19Well, 80 years young, so doing lots of fun things.
01:23I would say the one initiative I'm really proud of
01:25is our philanthropic initiatives.
01:30We're figuring out with 80 partners
01:33different ways to celebrate play around the world
01:35and bring play to kids
01:38and different communities that are underserved,
01:42and that's something that everyone at the company
01:45has been participating in
01:46and we're really enjoying.
01:48We've got a ruby red anniversary commemorative toy line
01:51that's fun, so imagine, you know, iconic products,
01:55the Fisher-Price chatter phone,
01:57an iconic Hot Wheels Corvette,
02:00a Barbie in gorgeous ruby red finishes.
02:04It's the anniversary color for the 80th.
02:06And lots of other fun things.
02:09We've got a gorgeous coffee table book from Rizzoli
