"Captured. Owned. Branded." — The Dark Truth About How Marketers Target Your Children

In today's hyper-commercial world, children are no longer just kids — they're prime marketing targets. From the moment they learn to recognize a logo, corporations are working overtime to capture their attention, own their loyalty, and brand their identities.

This video dives deep into the disturbing reality of child-targeted advertising, exposing how marketers:

Turn childhood into a consumer pipeline, pushing materialism over meaning
Reinforce unhealthy values like envy, competition, and instant gratification
With insights from Juliet Schor, Susan Linn, and David Walsh, we reveal how the philosophy of consumerism is reshaping not just childhood — but society.

📉 Why are our kids unhappier, more anxious, and constantly "bored" — despite having more stuff than ever?
📱 What role does advertising play in shaping their values, behavior, and sense of self-worth?
