Scholastic Debuts Promotional App

The app, which is available now for iPhone and Android phones, delivers a question every day that serves as a conversation starter, along with an answer and fun facts to keep the conversation alive. Parents can engage with additional questions within the app, share their children’s funny answers via Facebook and Twitter and share their own question ideas.

Church & Dwight, owner of the Arm & Hammer brand, has signed on as the launch sponsor for the app, which will feature integrated questions based on sponsored products. As sponsor for the month of August, there will be Arm & Hammer advertising banners within the app, as well as 10 custom content questions that will focus on the science of scents. 

“'KidQ' is a unique opportunity for advertisers to become a part of real moments of connection between parents and their children,”
