Marc Rosenberg is the Chief Marketing Officer of Zizzle LLC. During his 20 plus years, Rosenberg has been touted as a leader in marketing toy and entertainment properties. His relationships with media as well as consumer companies has contributed to the success of dozens of products.

Among the list of Mega Hits were: Furby, Giga Pets, Hit Clips, Talkboy, Brain warp, Poo-Chi and numerous others. Rosenberg went on to become Senior Vice President of Marketing and Advertising for Hasbro when Tiger was sold to Hasbro in 1998. He continued to market hits and was part of the team that launched Fur Real Friends and Video Now. The portfolio of partnerships Rosenberg launched is unmatched in the toy world. Mc Donalds, General Mills, Kelloggs, Nickelodeon, Coca Cola, Pepsi/Frito Lays are just some of the corporations that Marc has built long term relationships with doing multi-million dollar marketing plans for products. Several promotions for Zizzle products are already in the works with many of these extraordinary companies. Rosenberg's success is recognized within the community by Brandweek Magazine, which named him one of the top 7 marketers under 40 and by Advertising Age as one of the top 100 marketers in the United States. Acclaimed toy inventor Richard Levy stated that, "I have seen what Marc can do firsthand, and he can accomplish more with one hand tied behind his back than most major toy companies." After leaving Hasbro in 2003 to create Rosenberg Youth Marketing in partnership with UPROAR, Rosenberg continued creating and building marketing programs around children and families. Upon the creation of Zizzle, Rosenberg Youth Marketing was acquired in January, 2005 opening the doors to the reunion of one of the strongest teams in recent toy history.
