I'm also delighted to now be moving further into the world of licensing with Licensing.biz.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-25-3-1-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-social-media-buttons panel-last-child\" data-index=\"15\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-social-media-buttons so-widget-sow-social-media-buttons-flat-1c079c733194-25\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\n<div class=\"social-media-button-container\">\n\t\n\t\t<a class=\"ow-button-hover sow-social-media-button-envelope-0 sow-social-media-button\" title=\"Toy World Magazine | The business magazine with a passion for toys on Envelope\" aria-label=\"Toy World Magazine | The business magazine with a passion for toys on Envelope\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"mailto:rachael@toyworldmag.co.uk\" >\n\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-fontawesome sow-fas\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf0e0;\"\n\t\t \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\n\t\t<a class=\"ow-button-hover sow-social-media-button-linkedin-0 sow-social-media-button\" title=\"Toy World Magazine | The business magazine with a passion for toys on Linkedin\" aria-label=\"Toy World Magazine | The business magazine with a passion for toys on Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rachael-simpson-jones-b669a387\/\" >\n\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-fontawesome sow-fab\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf0e1;\"\n\t\t \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-25-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-25-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-25-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"16\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-dbf295114b96-25\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/toyworldmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Marianna-headshot-scaled.jpg\" width=\"2444\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toyworldmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Marianna-headshot-scaled.jpg 2444w, https:\/\/toyworldmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Marianna-headshot-286x300.jpg 286w, https:\/\/toyworldmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Marianna-headshot-977x1024.jpg 977w, https:\/\/toyworldmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Marianna-headshot-768x805.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toyworldmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Marianna-headshot-1466x1536.jpg 1466w, https:\/\/toyworldmag.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Marianna-headshot-1955x2048.jpg 1955w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2444px) 100vw, 2444px\" title=\"Marianna headshot\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-25-4-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-25-4-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-headline panel-first-child\" data-index=\"17\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-headline so-widget-sow-headline-default-bf10b3302791-25\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"sow-headline-container \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sow-headline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMarianna Casal\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"sow-sub-headline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tEditorial Assistant\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-25-4-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"18\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<ul>\n<li><strong>Favourite toys:<\/strong> Realistic dollhouses with wooden dolls, Barbie, baby dolls, teddy bears, Heelys and I absolutely loved my fake video camera when I was a girl to record my daily \u2018Marianna Banana Show\u2019 vlog.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sports team:<\/strong> St Louis Cardinals and Richmond Knights (baseball).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Likes:<\/strong> Playing sports, singing, dancing and Venezuelan food.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I graduated from City, University of London in 2022 with first class honours in journalism.
