Netflix Kids: Grow Up Bold

Empowering the Next Generation of Storytellers

The Ask:
Create a brand platform and launch a campaign that positions Netflix Kids & Family as the trusted, go-to destination for differentiated, high-quality kids’ entertainment. The goal: Make Netflix the #1 entertainment choice for kids and parents by 2025—whether kids are watching independently or enjoying time together as a family.

Insight:
Parents are constantly balancing the need to entertain their kids with the desire to nurture their growth. At the same time, kids crave stories that fuel their imagination, curiosity, and sense of possibility. Families aren’t just looking for screen time—they’re looking for meaningful screen time that supports creativity, learning, and fun.

The Strategic Solution:
We built a brand platform rooted in a powerful belief: Netflix empowers kids of all ages to unlock their innate potential while supporting parents in the hardest job of all—raising bold, curious, and compassionate humans.

The creative idea celebrated the magic of storytelling as a tool for growth, bonding, and self-discovery. It came to life through:

  • A hero brand film capturing real family moments of discovery, imagination, and joy

  • Targeted campaigns across TV, digital, social, and product UX touchpoints

  • Messaging tailored to both parents (trust, quality, enrichment) and kids (fun, imagination, empowerment)

Results:

  • Positioned Netflix Kids & Family as a destination beyond passive entertainment—an active partner in raising confident, curious kids

  • Built a cohesive global brand presence with scalable toolkits for markets worldwide

  • Contributed to growth in Netflix Kids’ engagement and brand trust among families
