PR campaign for children’s tablet focuses on media and blogger outreach
KD Germany appoints Griffiths Consulting to handle its PR activities in support of the Kurio Tab children’s tablet in Germany and Austria. The campaign includes outreach to trade and general media, as well as cooperation with leading technology and parenting bloggers.
The Kurio Tab is an Android tablet for children and its latest version has a unique motion function. Kurio tablets use cutting-edge technology to combine the advanced features parents expect with unique tools that allow them complete and customisable controls to set up profiles perfectly suited for each member of the family. At this year’s “Tommi”, the German children’s software award, the Kurio Tab Motion Edition won 3rd place in the electronic toys and was the best tablet among all entries.

The agency has particularly broad experience with the family, kids, and youth target group and works across industry sectors, for instance, baby products, tourism, fashion, toys, education, and hobbies.

The agency’s core competencies include strategic consulting, corporate and creative brand communications including advertising, social media as well as crisis PR in cases such as litigation or product recalls. Ulrica Griffiths, who previously ran Public and media relations for toymaker LEGO in Central Europe, founded it in 2004.
