FRAMINGHAM, MA (PRWEB) JANUARY 20, 2016
Punchbowl®, the gold standard in online invitations, today unveiled the 2016 'Characters Kids Love' collection — hundreds of branded invitations that feature iconic, beloved characters from Disney, Hasbro, Nickelodeon, Sanrio, Sesame Street, and many more.
The 2016 'Characters Kids Love' collection features more than 220 characters across 330 branded designs from Disney, Activision, Hasbro, Nickelodeon, NFL Players Association, Penguin Books, Sanrio, Scholastic, Sesame Street, and WWE. The collection includes beloved, animated and illustrated children's characters as well as real-life heroes. All of the invitations are available on desktop, tablet, or mobile phone.
"The 'Characters Kids Love' collection is the most comprehensive selection of branded invitations ever assembled," said Matt Douglas, CEO, Punchbowl, Inc. "Our 2016 collection solidifies Punchbowl as a leader in the Kids Birthday market."
Highlights of the 2016 'Characters Kids Love' collection include:
- Hundreds of popular kids themes such as Mickey Mouse, Frozen, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dora the Explorer, Sesame Street, Hello Kitty, My Little Pony, Transformers, and Skylanders

Viacom and Canvs Partner to Decode Complex Millennial Language in Marketing Campaigns for the First Time Ever

Viacom and Canvs Partner to Decode Complex Millennial Language in Marketing Campaigns for the First Time Ever
Canvs Fuels Viacom Velocity's Updated Echo Social Graph 2.0, Offering Marketing Partners Unprecedented Analysis of Consumer Emotions by Identifying 56 Unique Feelings
January 25, 2016 01:30 PM Eastern Standard Time
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Viacom Velocity, Viacom's (NASDAQ: VIAB, VIA) integrated marketing and creative content team, today announced a partnership with Canvs, the technology platform that measures and interprets emotionality in language. The alliance provides an unprecedented advantage to Velocity's clients by measuring consumers' emotional reactions to marketing campaigns.
Velocity's updated Echo Social Graph product ("Echo 2.0."), Viacom's proprietary tool that measures the effectiveness and virality of custom creative marketing campaigns, will integrate Canvs' emotional analysis to deliver deeper insights to marketing partners about the consumer impact of a campaign. Canvs' sophisticated capability tracks a broad range of 56 unique emotions, which is a huge increase over the three general feelings – "positive-negative-neutral" – typically tracked by sentiment analysis. Additionally, Canvs' extensive database is uniquely keyed into millennial slang and social media language.
Until now, Canvs has focused mostly on translating audience feelings about television shows, but Echo Social Graph's advanced capability to track social media conversations for clients across five platforms –Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, and Instagram – opens new ways to utilize Canvs.
"Viacom's Echo Social Graph has already been providing clients a unique advantage in measuring social media campaigns by mining data on five social media platforms," said Lydia Daly, Vice President of Viacom Velocity. "Layering Canvs' analytics into Echo 2.0 deepens the insights we provide our clients like no one else can in the industry, and our team uses this information to ensure that we deliver our partners' brand messages with maximum effectiveness. Finding the most innovative ways to connect creativity and data science is what keeps us - and our clients - ahead."
Canvs' capabilities are especially notable for deciphering millennial jargon, such as "Bae" and "on fleek," as well as translate words that have double meaning, such as "sick." Canvs' depth of interpretation means it keys into language nuances, like finding "love" expressed 30,000 ways on social media.
Echo 2.0 will tap into Canvs' sophisticated database of millions of pop culture words and phrases, which accounts for misspellings to ensure accuracy in interpreting feelings as millennials intend them. "Trippy," "awkward," "boring," "enough said," "goosebumps," "guilty pleasure," and "mindblown" are among the 56 feelings interpreted by Canvs.
"Our partnership with the Echo Social Graph now enables advertisers to tap into the power of emotions to inform client's marketing, research, and advertising decisions," said Jared Feldman, founder and chief executive at Canvs. "Viacom has helped define culture for decades, and we are honored to help its advertisers understand its audiences with a level of nuance and speed that has not been previously possible."
The partnership will be unveiled this month at Viacom Velocity's third annual "Roadshow," which introduces new products and capabilities to the marketing community ahead of the Upfront season. The Roadshow, which travels to New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, will be hosted this year by Michael Ian Black of Comedy Central's "Another Period."
