How the kids took over. Child-driven marketing

Description

Despite the success of Harry Potter, there's nothing magic about marketing to kids-corporations have it down to a science. This program explores the high-stakes world of child-driven market research, in which vast resources are dedicated to gauging the desires and buying power of young customers. Depicting a wide range of research strategies-including home visits and "brainstorming sessions" that earnestly mine youngsters' imaginations-the program presents views from marketing experts as well as from activists opposed to the commercial manipulation of children. Among these are Ralph Nader, Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), and Consuming Kids author Susan Linn.
