Digital advertising and marketing: only the best ideas worldwide, since 2003

Ferrero and the kids’ online paradise

on July 25, 2005 by Martina Comments

Pubblicità Italia reports Kinder and Ferrero snacks brands have launched an advertainment website targeting 4 to 12 years old kids. The site is called Animotosi and is built around the ideas of fun and movement. Advergames, e-cards, personalised cartoons create an attractive environment for young web surfers. The only thing I don’t really like is that there is also a mobile goodies section, where kids can download ringtones and logos. Even though I understand in Italy we have very young boys and girls owning a mobile phone, I’m not sure it’s very ethical to offer them such kind of content. Let’s be honest, 99 percent of the times kids don’t need a mobile phone, so why should we make them desire something completely unnecessary? Am I too radical in my views?
