Content That Works announces representation agreement with Kid Scoop

Posted

Content That Works has entered into a long-term distribution and management agreement with Vicki Whiting's Kid Scoop. Now CTW is the exclusive distribution and billing agent for all Kid Scoop products and platforms to local media outlets. Whiting and her team will continue to produce and package the content.

"I have been marketing Kid Scoop to newspapers since 1990," said Vicki Whiting, creator, owner and driving force behind the educational page. "Our efforts were very successful. Today more than 250 outlets use Kid Scoop.

"We realized we needed help to fuel our growth. CTW already represented some of our products so it was logical to let them do what they do best: market all of our products to media outlets. That way we can concentrate on what we do best: creating great, engaging, educational content for students."

Each week, Kid Scoop brings students interactive games, activities, puzzles and more in a bright and bouncy, award-winning content package for newspapers and their websites. The content provides kids and their families with reading selections and games they enjoy together. Kid Scoop gives its media partners a new way to reach out to non-traditional advertisers who sponsor the page or monthly magazine.

"We can think of no time in history that it has been more important for local media companies to reach out to young parents and their children," said Dan Dalton, executive vice president of Content That Works who heads the Kid Scoop sales and marketing effort. "We know there is no better product at connecting children with the importance of news and the value of the newspaper in the classroom than Kid Scoop. We are so excited to have this exclusive opportunity to represent Vicki and her talented team."

CTW will represent all five of the different Kid Scoop products currently available, including the Spanish language Kid Scoop weekly page. Kid Scoop and Content That Works are already working on new product offerings, including an interactive website that will give featured presence to local sponsors of the content.

"For the first time, the new online Kid Scoop platform gives television or radio stations the opportunity to participate in Kid Scoop via their websites," added Dalton. "It's a market exclusive product, but some newspapers produce their own pages or choose not to support teachers and young parents in their communities. So online gives us a new avenue of attack."
