After sharing the final panel at Kidscreen Summit, UK-based distributor CAKE acquired a stake in the research firm KidsKnowBest. Lots of studios refer to research to create shows, but this deal went further, letting CAKE use KidsKnowBest’s expertise every step of the way to build out data-driven IPs. That’s a big vote of confidence for KidsKnowBest’s work—especially since it’s staying independent and still gets to work with other companies—and that’s why readers picked it to win this week’s Gold Star!
Read what we wrote about KidsKnowBest—as well as runners-up The LEGO Group, Thomas Mazloum, Xilam Animation and Zephyr Animation & dwarf studios—right here.
