A Children’s Media Collective
About Us
We love many things about the Dr. Seuss books (hence the name, OneFish TwoFish). There was so much creativity and whimsy about what Dr Seuss wrote and he really knew the way to a child’s heart. A lot has changed for children and youth since Seuss wrote his books—technology, media evolution, and changes in society and culture which have influenced not only kids’ habits and interests, but also how they learn and develop.
We are more aware than ever of the impact that content creators can have on kids/teens, whether it is who they see or hear on screen, how a script is written, how a show is paced, or how an app or website is designed. We know the impact of not telling authentic stories and including the right people behind the screens to be part of a project. These components can greatly affect how kids might interact and/or learn from media and the choices made during content creation can have lasting impressions on the end user.
Thus, like a school of fish, we believe a great team can come together to have incredible impact and that is why we have started this children’s media consulting collective. We are able to put together an extended team of experts with different backgrounds and experiences to help you make the best project possible. We offer a range of services and consultants to meet the needs of a variety of children’s media projects!
Our Philosophy
For us, OneFish TwoFish represents a focus on combining academia/research expertise with industry/end user knowledge. Our goal is to use our experience and expertise to distill academic research, trends, developmental principles, and viewer/end user understanding into clear and concise notes that allow you to make the best project possible.
Another tenet of our philosophy is authentic representation. We are a consulting collective, who believe that you need to aggregate information from a number of areas to give the clearest notes and input. Children need to see themselves (and hear themselves) on screens as well as be introduced to those who are different from them and thus, we are committed to creating a behind-the scenes team that reflects the on-screen diversity that you are portraying.
