If you want to engage kids, you need content that is kid-friendly and relatable. Not just that, you should also be able to engage with parents and kids at the same time. This means you need to make content for two different target audiences.

To bridge the gap between these two generations, kid influencers are perfect. Working with kid influencers and their parents can be really helpful for your marketing campaigns. They are your target audience, and they know what works for them.

Big brands like Target and Covergirl are already bringing in kid influencers to reach out to younger audiences.
