Becker’s background in the Toy Industry and work with children make her uniquely qualified as a Global Marketing Consultant and Licensing Agent. Becker started her career in 1977, marketing Knickerbocker Toy Company’s Raggedy Ann®, Holly Hobbie®, Sesame Street® and other classic rag dolls and plush toys. Her vision to capitalize on the popularity of licensed products at a time when the Licensing Industry was in its infancy, and keep retail shelves stocked, increased sales substantially. Subsequently, Becker joined Amtoy, a Division of American Greetings Corp. to develop licensed products for the gift market based on character properties including Strawberry Shortcake®, Care Bears® and Ziggy®.  At Sunbeam Corp., Patti was credited with a 137% one-year sales increase from new product introductions she launched. At Anjar Co. she worked with Jim Becker, her Dad and creator of Othello®, Gumby® and Pokey®, Barrel of Monkeys®, the Disappearing Magic Baby Bottle®, developing and licensing Othello®, Grabbin’ Dragons®, Shirt Pocket Games® and numerous other toys and games around the world.

Earlier in her career, she was the Assistant Director of The Children’s Community, an innovative school program encompassing a 40% homeless population, where she solicited and received the first national grant.  In addition to working directly with children as a reading specialist and math tutor, Becker has also taught marketing at SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology. Becker established the first Play Therapy Clinics at Massachusetts General and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Hospitals. Her Masters’ Thesis, “The Marketing of Toys and Games in the 19th, 20th, and 21st Centuries,” predicted the growth of global toy marketing and provided key research in the marketing of early games.
