TESTIMONIALS

Patti and Jonathan are a truly unique pair. Patti has a keen sense for product and people and can smell new product opportunity. She knows nearly every person, company, and activity in the toy industry, so she's able to make unbelievably timely and accurate connections among the people and companies who will be most interested in partnering with each other. She's paired with her husband/business partner, Jonathan, who is arguably the world's foremost expert in toy licensing. She finds the opportunities. He crafts the deals. They're a perfect pairing of complementary skills with a unified objective. What really sets them apart is the fact that between the two of them they know the entire industry, they know everyone in it, and they know how to put the pieces of the puzzle together that you need to create new value in the marketplace. That's what they've done with PlayTape: They took a small company with an award-winning, innovative product line and paired us with a venerable leader in toys with vast distribution to create a global brand.

Patti is a visionary grounded in a true commitment to helping others with her vast expertise. She has been instrumental in helping women in the industry, both as clients and in her work with Women in Toys (WIT). In fact, based on her relationships with Walmart, she started the WIT/Walmart Empowerment Day which I expect will become one of her lasting legacies.

I love Patti Becker! Few people reach her level of extraordinary energy, experience, connections and vast knowledge of the industry. Her ability to connect with people is a gift, as is her enthusiasm and incredible "smarts". Patti is the type of person you can call with any question or issue and she'll always put you on the right path. Plus she's just a lot of fun. I highly recommend her.

An aggressive marketer, Patti has the consulting and licensing expertise to recognize a product's ingenuity and see it through production. As the principle designer for the Baby Chair Companion (a product of Farva Enterprises, LLC), I have been working with Patti for over two years to field this potentially lifesaving device for families for use. Not only is she dedicated to the point of working holiday weekends and overcoming the challenges of international communications to support inventors in Military service, she also is flexible to the needs of startup companies learning the ropes of business. I have implicit faith in Patti's representation of our products and look forward to developing new products in the future!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful it is working with Patti Becker and Becker Associates. I am a toy inventor and I have come to discover that Becker Assoc. is one of the leading agents in this field and has been for decades. Not only is Ms. Becker a consummate professional, she is an effective motivator and inspiration. Moreover, she is highly inventive and offers insightful creative suggestions again and again. In fact, one of my best (in my opinion) concepts can be linked to suggestions Patti offered. 
No wonder she was at one time President of "Women in Toys International"!

It my pleasure to write this recommendation for Patti Becker. She is not only a leader in the toy industry with a keen business sense but she is part of the first family of toys - the Beckers. I first had the pleasure of working with Becker Associates back in the early 90's on number of very challenging Barbie products. Becker Associates were very thorough in their approach and wonderful to work with. A difficult project was real made such a breeze and I appreciated their support and great attitudes all through the process.

I first met Patti at the Dallas Fall Toy Preview in 2008. I was immediately intrigued by the work both Patti & Jonathan had done in their own right with Anjar as well as with their involvement as toy agents with the inventor community. I was thrilled when she and Jonathan agreed to represent our concepts. Cieo's toy concepts involve an expertise is both technology, interactivity, child psychology and marketing. Patti brings a wealth of experience and wisdom in this regard, and does so with a grace, kindness and an energy of possibility. We feel very fortunate to be working with her and we look forward to building that relationship for years to come.
