Engaging effectively with kids is an opportunity for brands to create life-long relationships with consumers. For many brands, the age of kids is also especially important given the development of decision-making processes.

Demographic change amplifies the need to effectively resonate with America’s diverse children and their parents. In fact, the generations most likely to have children are between 5 and 12 percent more racially and ethnically diverse than older generations. And, multicultural Americans are 10% more likely to have children under 18 living in their households. Race and ethnicity often shape the way children are raised and develop their decision-making processes.

However, many brands say they have a significant gap in their understanding of the way culture impacts children and the parent-child decision-making process. Collage Group’s Parents & Kids cultural intelligence program was created to offer brands the insights they need to connect with kids through their advertising and marketing efforts.
