The $1 trillion opportunity

Kids influence 7 in 10 family decisions,
yet most strategies ignore them.

Kids influence family spending far beyond traditional categories, from the weekly shop to the summer holiday. Brands that understand their influence are better positioned to capture a share of the $1 trillion opportunity.

The marketing mix

Human insight,
across the value chain.

From planning to placement, access the latest kids' and family insights to make faster, more confident decisions, without the delays or expense of traditional research.

Start with understanding
today's audiences.

Begin planning with a clear read on your audience: where to focus budget, which audiences to prioritise, which trends to back.

  • Where kids spend time, across platforms and content
  • Which trends are gaining momentum, by age and market
  • What parents are prioritising in the household

Build products that earn their place.

Understand the features, outcomes and experiences families want, and build products they reach for.

  • The brands, characters and categories capturing interest now
  • How that differs by age, market and audience
  • What parents value when they decide to say yes

Create campaigns
around influence.

Reaching an audience is not the same as engaging them. Know the people, messages and moments that land with kids and parents alike.

  • The messages that resonate with kids and parents
  • The creators, characters and platforms that matter
  • How kids discover brands and products today

Show up where your audience already is.

Understand the platforms, creators and media habits that shape young audiences, so your brand is present where it feels most relevant.

  • Where each audience spends time, by market
  • How discovery journeys differ by age and interest
  • Where media budget will work hardest

The data in your hands

Understand kids and family
audiences in their own words.

Go past demographics to what young audiences actually think, feel and do. Segment any audience, then cross-tab and compare by age, category and market to see what moves them, and how that is shifting.

Weeks earlier sign-off with the evidence in hand

A read on what kids actually watch and which creators they follow, unavailable from the platform itself, gave the team the confidence to commit to a content and channel plan.

Case study

How a studio profiled its fanbase before a global launch.

Ahead of a theatrical release and expansion into new markets, a global entertainment studio used TIF data to profile a hit preschool show's fans. It defined a core audience of girls aged 3 to 9 and sharpened how the brand engaged and targeted them.

What our clients say

We stopped talking about “kids” and started talking about our actual audience: girls aged three to nine who name the show as their favourite. That clarity changed how we briefed the entire launch.
