This week, the long-running Power Kid Podcast joins the Network, with host Phil Albritton of Power Kid Design presenting in-depth interviews and conversations with some of the biggest names and rising stars in the toy, game, and family entertainment industries. The show joins the Toy Report Podcast, which presents news roundups and breaking news throughout each week. Additional shows will be added to the Network in the months ahead.

On this week’s episode, Phil spoke with with Lee Parkhurst, senior brand marketing manager of Educational Insights.

We discuss what it’s like pitching a product under the QVC lights, and how to measure the success of digital marketing campaigns.”

Additionally, Albritton and Parkhurst share a timely discussion about influencer marketing and the huge shift that’s taking place following the FCC settlement with YouTube regarding targeted videos for kids ages 13 and under.
