  • Kids Elect President Barack Obama the Winner in Nickelodeon's Kids Pick the President "Kids' Vote" National Poll
    Kids Elect President Barack Obama The Winner In Nickelodeon's Kids Pick the President "Kids' Vote" National Poll More Than Half a Million Votes Cast NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The kids of the United States have spoken and President Barack Obama has been elected the winner of Nickelodeon's 2012 Kids Pick the President "Kids' Vote." Since it began in 1988, kids have correctly picked the winner (in advance of the national election) five out of the last six times. More than half a million votes were cast in the network's online poll as part of Nickelodeon's Kids Pick the President initiative to build young citizens' awareness of, and involvement in, the election process. President Obama received 65% of the vote and former Governor Mitt Romney received 35%. In order to more closely replicate the actual election, and to ensure the results were more authentic, this year the voting was limited to one vote per electronic device. Kids were able to cast their votes online from Oct. 15 to Oct. 22. On Monday, Oct. 22, at 7:30 p.m. (ET/PT), Linda Ellerbee, the Emmy Award-winning host of Nickelodeon's Nick News, will announce the winner of the Kids Pick the President "Kids' Vote" on the network. "What politicians do definitely affects kids but for me, it's not about who wins," said Ellerbee. "It's about creating tomorrow's voters. Democracy takes work. We're the practice field." Leading up to the Kids Pick the President online vote, Nickelodeon aired two election-themed Nick News with Linda Ellerbee specials this year, which ranked as the series' highest-rated episodes for 2012 to date.

  • First Lady Michelle Obama to Receive Nickelodeon's Big Help Award
    First Lady Michelle Obama To Receive Nickelodeon's Big Help Award Award Kicks Off The Big Help "Millions On The Move" Pro-Social Campaign NEW YORK, March 25, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Nickelodeon will honor the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, with the Big Help Award in a special presentation during Nickelodeon's 23rd Annual Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday, March 27. The Big HelpAward will pay tribute to the First Lady for her leadership in championing a healthy generation of kids and families through her recently launched Let's Move! initiative. The award recognizes those who seek to better the world, and whose significant impact on their community has inspired kids to do the same. "First Lady Michelle Obama has taken on one of this generation's most pressing concerns: the health and wellness of our nation's children," said Marva Smalls, Executive Vice President, Public Affairs and Chief of Staff, Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group. "Her willingness to work hard, influence others and her dedication to improving the nation is inspiring, and we are proud to honor her for her commitment to empowering kids and families to address one of the most important issues of today." Launched in February 2010 by the First Lady to end the American epidemic of childhood obesity in a single generation, the nationwide Let's Move! campaign focuses on helping parents make healthier life choices for their families, providing healthier food in schools, encouraging kids to be more active and ensuring access to healthy, affordable food in every part of the country.

  • H1 2019 Trends and Opportunities What’S Trending in Social TV: H1 2019
    What’s Trending In Social TV H1 2019 Trends and Opportunities What’s Trending In Social TV: H1 2019 The state of social media for TV has been strong so far in 2019. Total Fan Growth for TV pages across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram is up 29% in the first half of 2019 compared to the second half of 2018, while social engagement increased 15% during the same time period. For Facebook, that largely means TV pages continue to recover from the algorithm changes in early 2018 that significantly limited organic reach. As TV focuses on strengthening engagement with their fanbase as opposed to just growing it, Facebook response rate and video views were up in the first half of 2019, inching back to pre-algorithm change levels. It’s a similar story for Twitter, where the TV space needed to alter their strategies following a mid-2018 purge of fake and dormant users. While the volume of tweets from TV accounts was down in the first half of 2019, the “less is more” strategy has been paying off. In Q2 2019, the average number of video views for TV hit its highest peak since the beginning of 2017. Meanwhile, the success of Instagram Stories is something TV Pages are taking advantage of in 2019. The volume of Instagram Stories published by TV accounts increased by 176% comparing Q2 2019 to Q1 2018. TV has also seen substantial growth on YouTube halfway through 2019, with fan counts and video views on the platform up 45% and 28% respectively, comparing H1 2019 to H1 2018.

However, what we don’t see is that kids often start making good or bad choices before their teen years. Often referred to as the “pre-teen” years, children between 9-13 years of age (grades 4-9) are straddling the fence between childhood and choice. On the one hand, they are beginning to branch out in their lives, looking to new horizons, taking on new responsibilities. And, yet, as children, they still look to their parents to guide them about what is right and what is wrong; they still longingly seek for approval and support from the adults who surround them. Pre-teens are facing life’s first great crossroads: the decisions they make today will last a lifetime.
