Why Ad Dollars Haven't Followed Kids Audiences — and How to Fix It, with WildBrain's Emma Witkowski
Q: Why haven't the ad dollars flowed with the audience as viewers moved to digital environments?
Ad dollars haven't migrated because the digital advertising tools and measurement models were built around adult data and behavior, not kid-specific contexts, making it hard to apply standard metrics and to conduct compliant, effective targeting in Made for Kids inventory.
Re-Run: Safe Spaces Online: Zigazoo's Ashley Mady and Club Penguin's Chris Heatherly on Building Kids Social Media That Actually Works
Q: Awesome. Can you explain how the Zigazoo platform works and what it looks like for kids?
The center of Zigazoo is project-based learning, fully interactive, with short videos paired with challenge questions, where kids respond via comments or videos; all content is moderated, with a human-in-the-loop approach aided by AI to ensure safety.
