Emily Laird @ Playmates

Em_with_Kevin_Eastman_sm

I thought it would interest many of you to know that Emily Laird (the charming and talented daughter of Peter Laird) is now a Public Relations intern for the Marketing Department at Playmates. Personally, I hope things work out for her and Playmates sees the wisdom in bringing her in full time.

For those of you who haven’t worked in the Consumer Products or Entertainment field, let me tell you how valuable it is to have team members who have a genuine interest is the property they are working with. Too often do you find people doing thier job to collect a paycheck, having no passion behind it. Having people who love what they do, and love the property they work with is KEY to long term success and stability. Having a product that is supported by people who love and care for it will ALWAYS yield better results.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Emily, you should know that she bleeds green just like we do. I think she realizes both how much the Turtles mean to so many of us, as well as the responsability she will one day have. She is definately the kind of person I’m happy to see running around the halls of Playmates. Good Luck Em!
