Kids market research.
Helping you to understand kids and youth audiences in support of developing your brand
Bianca Abulafia
Kids Market Research Lead
We help our clients to understand how children and young people are interacting with the world around them, supporting them in the development of new brands and concepts.
Our kids market research team has worked with some of the biggest kids brands across the globe, helping them to understand how tastes are changing, and how their brands can respond.
The challenges kids brands face are broad and varied, and often require bespoke approaches to ensure we meet your objectives. From understanding how kids interact with and play with toys, to how they use stationary, our team of kids market research experts tailor their approach to your market and objectives, and have shared their knowledge of how these tools need to be adapted at conferences across the world.
