  1. 01

    Context

    The vertical.

    ZEE5 KidZ needed a communication voice of its own — distinct from the main platform, and capable of carrying a catalogue aimed at children inside a household where somebody else makes the decisions.

  2. 02

    The Challenge

    Two audiences, one message.

    Children consume the content. Parents approve the platform. Communication therefore has to work for two audiences simultaneously, without patronising either — excitement for one, reassurance for the other, in the same breath.

    Creative Thought

    #MomApproved

    Rather than claiming safety in the brand's own voice, let approval come from the person whose approval actually counts. Trust is more persuasive when it is borrowed from a parent than when it is asserted by a platform.

  4. 04

    Execution

    How it ran.

    A recognisable communication property for the KidZ vertical, running across social and platform touchpoints with a consistent tone of voice.

    Koyel's Role

  6. 06

    Outcome

    Supported outcomes.

    A recognisable ZEE5 KidZ communication property built around parental approval, and one of the platform's highly shared content series in 2023.

    What This Demonstrates

    The transferable bit.

    • Brand voice built as architecture, not a list of adjectives.
    • Communication designed for a decision-maker who is not the consumer.
    • A property that can keep running rather than a one-off campaign.
