“Kids’ health is in the news for all the wrong reasons. 1 in 3 kids are considered obese, including more than 25% of kids under the age of 5. By the time these kids are adults, we’ll be spending $550 million annually on obesity-related treatment. The stakes are high and the reality is starting to sink in for parents. They’re stepping up and trying to cultivate better family habits around food and activity. They’re evolving rapidly and restaurants are struggling to stay relevant with a variety of healthy options for today’s families,” said Ian Davidson, Senior Manager, Brand Insights.
“C3 continues to evolve based on our clients’ needs. We’re known as a company able to enhance the dine out mealtime experience for families and kids—and we’re proud of that work. Today, we play a bigger role. From consumer insights to menu and service innovation and beyond, we take a holistic approach with our clients’ business opportunity for families and kids,” said Shad Foos, Vice President of Account Management & Business Strategies.
