Kids Industries: Your IP needs fans, not just views. Let’s talk about what’s changed, what’s next, and how to build fandom that lasts.
Kids Industries returns to CMC with a refreshed take on their fandom model, diving deep into what drives highly engaged fan bases among kids and youth today. Drawing on new data from ages 4 to 29 across the UK and US, the model helps us unpack the evolving nature of fandom - from TikTok creators and parasocial bonds to nostalgia loops and the 'kidult' boom. Discover how online communities and unofficial content ecosystems are reshaping the audience journey - and what this means for IP owners, producers, and studios.
If you're creating for kids, teens, or anyone in between, this is your fandom playbook for the future. Expect insights, trends, and practical takeaways that help your brand not just survive, but thrive in the fandom-fueled content economy.
