   The Creativity and Complexity in Building a Kids’ Well-Being Snack Brand

   Today’s youth are more informed, engaged and vocal on many topics – including what they eat. Building a brand that meets their expectations for taste and fun, as well as gives parents’ confidence is a challenge. Add to that the different dynamics within the 6-12 age group and then how to communicate with them in social. Shannon Neumann and Tiffany Tasker will discuss the complexities when it comes to building and marketing a kids brand.

   • Shannon Neumann, Associate Director (SnackFutures and Ruckus and Co Brand Lead)
   • Tiffany Tasker, Founding Member (SuperAwesome)
