BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and position.
I am the Global SVP, Go-to-Market of GoNoodle
Describe what your company does in a single sentence.
GoNoodle is a leading kids’ content platform that brings movement, music, mindfulness, and educational moments into classrooms and family homes. Our content helps kids get active, reset their energy, build emotional regulation skills, and engage with joyful, age-appropriate experiences that teachers and families trust.
Today, GoNoodle partners with brands across categories like entertainment, healthcare, retail, travel and tourism, and CPG/toy to create safe, meaningful, co-branded content for kids and families. Through custom videos, classroom activations, activity sheets, digital campaigns, and measurable distribution, we help partners reach children, educators, and families in a positive, high-trust environment.
A big part of our value is that GoNoodle is not traditional advertising. We create content that kids actually want to participate in, teachers feel good using, and parents recognize as safe and helpful.
