• Children’s access to the number of devices decreases
• But ownership of main devices increases as families
manage the device influx
• More television (driven by Smart TVs) - the big screen is
still the ‘king’ of devices
• It offers a high fidelity experience
• But Smart TVs are getting connected means YouTube
on the ‘big screen’
• Under the age of 10, the connected device kids are most
likely to ‘OWN’ are tablets, then the smartphone takes
over
• Smartphone screens are getting bigger
• But offer small screen convenience

Total sample
• For younger children, familiarity is a key
motivation for consuming entertainment
• But as they get older they are actively seeking
new content - which makes being
discoverable very important
• TV is still essential for driving brand awareness,
purchase consideration and is the most trusted of
all media channels (43% Net Trust - parents 2-15s)
• However, there are emerging effective ad-
platforms such as YouTube, social media and In-
app ads
• A YouTube personality is now as likely as
parents or siblings to influence the discovery
of a child’s last ‘new (piece of) content’
