INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
With large majorities of all children (70% in the United States and U.K.) staying home from school during the COVID-19 crisis, use of
digital media properties popular with kids has soared
Screen time among kids in the United States is up 50% according to research by SuperAwesome .
This adds momentum to a space that has
already been rapidly evolving amid greater protections on children data privacy, increasing popularity of gaming, the rise of subscription
bundles, and the influence of independent content creators.
TechCrunch will host a live webinar panel tomorrow (April 8) at 11:15am PDT /
2:15pm EDT about the current state of children media with three leaders in the industry:
Craig Donato, Chief Business Officer of Roblox, the
$4 billion gaming platform that counts the majority of US kids age 9-12 among its active users.
Nancy MacIntyre, Co-Founder - CEO of
Fingerprint, a leading subscription video and gaming service for children.
Dylan Collins, Co-Founder - CEO of SuperAwesome, the London-based
creator of &kid-safe& adtech and privacy tools.
