In space, no one can hear you cook…

We’re excited (understatement) about the launch of Episode I for our newest kid’s property for the BC Dairy Foundation: Titanium Chef! This deep, online, Flash(TM)-based RPG has been developed for kids aged 10-13. More episodes follow every 2 weeks until mid-October for a total 6 to 10 hours of free online gameplay for kids (and we think adults will enjoy the subtle mod7-style inside jokes, too)!

Sign up and start playing right now: www.titaniumchef.ca.

(And stay tuned for Episode II…)

We believe kids matter. Our new microsite, mod7.com/fun, takes a look at building interactive experiences for kids (along with some brand platform samples thrown in for context). Check out this fun little site.

We’ve written a new whitepaper for people working in the children’s marketing and entertainment industries.

It provides an overview of current practices and advertising recommendations in children’s online media and marketing. Current practices are commendable, while more can be done to ensure that children are not exploited. mod7 presents ideas for discussion as well as practical case studies to support those ideas.

Download the whitepaper here: Empowering Imagination: A Primer on the Ethical Imperative in Children’s Marketing & Entertainment (PDF, 500 KB).
