Advertising to children and young people presents major challenges, in terms of what is permissible, the nature of the message, and the best channels to use. They are media savvy, and can see the potential of integrated campaigns, delivering an all-round experience, but can also be unforgiving of less well executed examples.
Increasing time spent online, the growth in social networking sites, and more TV viewing via on demand, YouTube or other online channels, means that successful advertising needs to prove its relevance and value to them.
CHILDWISE work with organisations to evaluate and track campaigns, and to provide input into development.
