“Getting a voice into young customers is key”

MTW Toys’ Darran Garnham on why just a TV spend won’t cut it with today’s kids.

Today: Darran Garnham, ceo, MTW Toys

“I think the key challenge – and fantastic opportunity – is getting a voice into young customers.

The days of only a TV spend to reach kids is long gone. Looking at the success of channels such as EvanTube and Ryan’s World reaching kids gives great potential. This will be an interesting space to watch.”
