I may be 26 years old, but I still love getting toys for Christmas. I don’t mean expensive gadgets—I mean real toys. In past years I received gifts like a Marshmallow Shooter and a Fisher-Price T.M.X. Tickle Me Elmo
(only entertaining for about five minutes), and this year I got the most awesome remote control helicopter ever
. It’s not an Air Hogs helicopter, but I’ve always been impressed with that particular brand. They do some pretty cool stuff when it comes to flying toys, so I thought that my Christmas List could help your job search. Spin Master is the Toronto, CA based company (with locations in the US) that owns the Air Hogs brand in addition to other toy brands like Aquadoodle, Bugville, Flick Trix, Liv, Moon Dough, Zoobles, and plenty of others. They make all kinds of stuff that you and I are too old to play with, but I guess you’d have an excuse if you worked for them.
Spin Master started with three college friends and $10,000. Their first product was The Earth Buddy, and then came Devil Sticks, Grow Things, and Chatter Rings. None of them were huge hits, but then Spin Master hit on the “Sky Shark” in 1998. It was a toy airplane propelled by compressed air, and it was the precursor to the entire Air Hogs brand. Now Spin Master is a leader in toy innovation, and they’re also doing a lot on the licensing front (cobranding with major media properties). Their website has a ton of information on it, but I can’t link to specific pages because it’s all in Flash (though I can link to their job postings). The site includes an in-depth Careers page, that shows a ton of opportunities—many of which are entry level. These include Web Designer/Flash Developer (Los Angeles), Preliminary Cost Engineer (Toronto), http://www.spinmaster.com/app/website/careers/?id=183 (Toronto), Customer Care Representative (Toronto),IT Helpdesk Analyst – Mac (Toronto), Community Manager (Los Angeles), Customer Support Representative – Sales and Service (Toronto), and Retail Merchandiser (Montreal). Have fun!
