Playmobil Pro Brings Play to Business

Executives from Playmobil took to LinkedIn to seed information and gauge feedback on its new B2B product, Playmobil Pro. Quietly launched this week, Playmobil Pro is being touted as “an innovated modelling system for professionals” based around the iconic Playmobil figure. The system includes a a carrying case filled with neutral Playmobil figures and accessories to be used in project management and other applications.

Playmobil Pro aims to support modern working methods and management trends across areas such as marketing and communication, innovation and creativity, and change management. It’s geared toward start-ups, professional trainers, and creative workshops.

While the approach is new for Playmobil, similar products have hit the market in the past, most notably LEGO Serious Play. Playmobil notes that the Playmobil Pro system is currently in the prototype stage, and that items and accessories featured in current photos and videos will change as the product develops.

Interested parties are invited to contact the Playmobil Pro team for further details.
