Mattel HOT WHEELS
Editorial Director, Author and Price Guide Director
Beckett Media and Mattel Toy Company
Worked on the official Hot Wheels toy brand for three years.
Convinced Mattel to promote our Hot Wheels Guide Book on the actual Hot Wheels toy packaging. This is a marketing strategy which Mattel had not tried in 40-plus years with the Hot Wheels brand.
See image of the Hot Wheels Price Guide book on front of the packaging. A URL link was also added to the reverse side of packaging.
This promotion was so successful we had to go back to the printer three times. Sold tens of thousands and could not keep them in stock.
We also published the official Hot Wheels Magazine. (see images below)
