Mary Ellroy of Gamebird LLC: How to invent a game and get it on the market

00:00 /

The toy industry is one with easier entry for inventors than many other industries. Because the industry is so idea-centric, it’s often possible to show ideas without a patent requirement. Board, mechanical/electronic, and card games are relatively simple to prototype and present. Mary Ellroy of Gamebird LLC shares with our listeners the basics of game inventing. what is industry is looking for, how to create a prototype, and how to approach the toy industry.

Mary Ellroy, in the toy business since 1990, is an inventor of toys and games and an agent for toy and game inventors.. She comes to toy invention with a corporate marketing background. She received an MBA from the Boston College School of Management (now the Carroll School of Management at Boston College.) Her creative accomplishments in consumer marketing inspired her to turn that creativity to toys and games.

Her games have won multiple awards. Although a prolific speculative inventor, her marketing background places her high on the list as a “games-on-demand” contract inventor for various licenses and theme-specific concepts. As well, she has a commercial understanding of markets and products which takes her beyond the “fun” of toys to the “business” of toys.

Mary serves on the Board of the Yankee Invention Expo, an international forum for inventors. She is President Emeritus of the Inventors Association of Connecticut, one of the oldest and largest inventor organizations in the country, and she has served on the board of Women in Toys.

A Conversation with Dr. Joe Hannan, Tomie Galbreath and Sharon McNair

A Conversation with Dr. Joe Hannan, Tomie Galbreath and Sharon McNair

00:00 /

Originally from Maine, close to the Canadian border, Sharon McNair was destined to work with seniors. She grew up in a home where both her grandparents and her great grandparents lived in the house. She went off to schoo, and ultimately received a Masters degree in Gerontology. Sharon began her career as a social worker in a skilled nursing facility. In the mid-80s, Sharon wanted her parents to be close to her, so she put them on the waiting list at Gwinnett Christian Terrace. Not long after that, she went to work for Gwinnett Christian Terrace, and has been the Administrator ever since – nearly 25 years!

Tomie Galbreath is a world traveler! Born in West Virginia and raised in Texas, Tomie eventually ended up back in Atlanta with her husband. When she came to Gwinnett Christian Terrace to be the Activities Director and Service Coordinator seven years ago, she had no real experience working with seniors. According to Tomie, she thought to herself, “Well, I’m a senior, what would I be interested in? What would draw me out of my apartment?” She hasn’t looked back since, and tells us that she finds her job so rewarding because she gets to see reluctant residents “blossom and come out of their shells.” Tomie and Sharon can be reached at (770) 925-2300. You can also visit their website at www.christianterrace.com.

Dr. Joe Hannan is an Internist by trade. Raised in New Jersey, and educated at Gettysburg College, Dr. Hannan received his medical education in Europe. He returned to the US to do his residency. When his partner offered up three clients in a skilled nursing facility, Dr. Hannan was quick to accept. Over the years, he has focused his practice on the senior community. Today, Dr. Hannan is the Medical Director for two Manor Care facilities in the Atlanta area. He also serves several other facilities and a hospice. To reach Dr. Hannan at Manor Care, just look for the guy with the baseball hat and the crazy tie!
