June 16, 2021 – Jazwares, a global leader in toys and licensing, today announced they have named Sara Rosales, an accomplished communications executive, as Senior Vice President of Communications. In her new role, Sara’s greater focus will be on corporate communications, brand public relations, the company’s philanthropic efforts, collaborating closely with digital marketing on earned media, and the strategic management of the corporate website.
