Debrief
The sibling is the algorithm.
Forty households, six markets, one recommendation engine that no platform built. Debrief No. 04 follows the older child through the evening and finds the decisions that never reach a parent.

What we found
In six of ten households the youngest picks the screen and the oldest pays for it. In between sits the sibling: the child who has already watched, already wanted and already decided. [The Debrief body: fieldwork, the three learnings and what a brand does with them. Placeholder until the launch Debrief is approved.]
Inside
- The evening, hop by hop: who sparks, who backs, who blocks
- The sibling's three currencies: time, taste and permission
- What this means for a launch, a campaign and a piece of content

Questions about this piece
- What is Debrief No. 04 about?
- How older brothers and sisters decide what younger children watch, want and keep. Famdom spent time in forty households across six markets and found a recommendation engine that no platform built: the sibling. The Debrief sets out the evening hop by hop, the sibling's three currencies, and what a brand does with it.
- Why does the sibling matter to a brand?
- In six of ten households the youngest picks the screen and the oldest pays for it, and in between sits the sibling: the child who has already watched, already wanted and already decided. Pricing talks to the payer. Relevance has to talk to the picker, and the sibling is the route to the picker.
