How GoNoodle Helps Retail & CPG Brands Win by Starting in School First

 Featured Image

In the high-stakes world of retail and CPG, brand visibility isn’t the issue; relevance is. Families are bombarded with options, and while digital ads and promotions may increase reach, they don’t always inspire trust or long-term loyalty. Today’s consumers, especially parents, want more than a product. They want purpose. And increasingly, their biggest influencers aren’t scrolling online, they’re sitting at the kitchen table: their kids.

GoNoodle is the media platform trusted by over 86% of U.S. public elementary schools, with a reach of over 20 million students and 2 million teachers. We create movement-led media that entertains, energizes, and educates, and now, we’re helping the world’s leading retail and CPG brands turn classroom joy into real-world product preference.

Purpose Meets Impact: Partnering with GoNoodle

Here’s the stat that changes everything: 87% of parents say their children influence household purchases. Whether it’s snacks, toys, wellness products, or seasonal must-haves, kids are a driving force behind what goes in the cart.

GoNoodle transforms this influence into brand activation. We connect mission-aligned brands with children during high-trust, high-impact moments in their school day, then extend that connection home to parents through integrated marketing across email, social, and our app. The result? Increased affinity, deeper engagement, and stronger sales conversion.
