September 18, 2007Kiki & Privo Sponsor The Tween Mashup
The "early adopter" rate may have passed, but there are still good reasons to register for the Ypulse Tween Mashup. We just added two more sponsored case studies to the agenda. The first is from KiKi magazine, a start up magazine geared towards tween girls. I think it will be fascinating to hear about an independent upstart choosing to launch a print publication, and how they plan to leverage technology to make sure they stay in business. We will also have a case study from Privo, a company that helps brands market to tweens in ways that are safe and COPPA compliant. I first heard about them from work they did for the Schwab Foundation's site for tweens called Sparktop and met them in person at another conference this past spring. They will dispel the perception that you can't market anything to tweens under 13 online and talk about how to do it right.
Keep the lunch roundtable topics coming. Right now we have:
Future of tween magazines - Nancy Gruver, New Moon
What's developmentally appropriate for girls 8-13 online - Joi Podgorny, Ludorum
Tweens and video games - Jen Brown, Allykatzz
Research on tweens and social media - Peter Grunwald, Grunwald Associates
Why tweens love avatars - Maura Welch, Wee World
Mom and the tween media experience - Dr. Mary Manz Simon
Sponsor Roundtable
Tweens and Payments - Jessica Stroud, Pay Jr.
If you're attending and would like to suggest and topic and volunteer to moderate a lunch discussion, email me!
And finally, this event is not just about tweens, it has been powered by them as well. I wanted post a shout out to the tweens (featured in the photo: my business partner's daughter and her friends) who helped us mail out Mashup post cards last weekend!
