PLAYMONSTER CONGRATULATES THEIR RISING STAR SAKITA WITHERS FOR WINNING A 2022 WOMEN IN TOYS WONDER WOMAN AWARD

Sakita Withers

PlayMonster’s Sakita Withers Wins Big at the Women in Toys 30th Anniversary Awards

BELOIT, Wis. (March 2, 2022) – PlayMonster is proud to announce that Sakita Withers has won a 2022 Wonder Woman Award in the Rising Star, Marketing/PR category. This is  one of the most prestigious awards for women in the toy industry, and PlayMonster could not be more proud to have one of their own recognized in this way!

The Wonder Women Awards is an annual event held by the Women in Toys (WiT) Licensing and Entertainment organization that recognizes and honors remarkable leaders, entrepreneurs and changemakers for their outstanding contributions in the toy, licensing and entertainment industries.

Award winner Sakita Withers is a Brand Manager at PlayMonster, and has been with the company for two years. Sakita’s leadership has been instrumental in the successful launch of Snap Ships, Koosh, and BriteBrush brands, and now the much-anticipated relaunch of the beloved Playskool line. Under Sakita, Snap Ships built an engaged and loyal fanbase by leveraging content and the expansive product line. Her background in toys (Manager, Global Brand Development and Marketing—Hasbro My Little Pony) and infant products (Brand Manager—Evenflo) gave her the experience and perspective to efficiently and effectively lead a team of product developers, creative associates, content developers, marketers and more to make Snap Ships a success.

Sakita Withers, Brand Manager at PlayMonster, says: “To be awarded WiT’s Rising Star Award is an absolute honor. Women in the industry have come so far over the past 30 years, and it’s gratifying to see recognition for our hard work! I first fell in love with toys in my late grandmother’s playroom. From He-Man to Barbie, she encouraged discovery and play, and was truly a role model in all respects. This award was made possible thanks to her.”

Lisa Wuennemann, Vice President, Marketing at PlayMonster, says: “I’m proud of what Sakita has accomplished in a short time at PlayMonster.  She ensured that every aspect of the Snap Ships launch was consistent and impressive with a great-looking product with huge playability that appealed to boys, parents and collectors; launch events; and supporting YouTube content. This year she is applying the same strategic thinking and level of detail to PlayMonster’s launch of Playskool. She is just getting started!”

Women in Toys is a non-profit organization that champions and advocates for the advancement of women through leadership, networking and educational opportunities. WiT members open doors for one another and are eager to share what they’ve learned, and are dedicated to change in the industry. Through the critical resources and programming the organization provides, and the connections they help to forge, WiT creates limitless opportunities for women to thrive at all levels of their career.

  7. Limitation of Liability: By submitting an entry, You waive any privacy expectations that You might have with respect to the entry or any personal information provided.

  9. Miscellaneous: If any provision of the Official Rules or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance shall be declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of the Official Rules, it being the intent and agreement of the parties that the Official Rules shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable while preserving its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefore another provision that is valid, legal and enforceable so as to give effect to Sponsor’s intent. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules will not constitute a waiver of that provision. Entrants agree to waive any rights to claim ambiguity of these Official Rules. In the event there is a discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in any Sweepstakes-related materials, privacy policy or terms of use, and/or the terms and conditions of the Official Rules, the Official Rules shall prevail, and the discrepancy will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
