KUALA LUMPUR, March 31 (Bernama) -- Sandbox & Co, a strategic operator of millennial learning and entertainment companies has acquired Fingerprint, a digital content provider for kids and families to form Sandbox Kids.

According to a statement, Sandbox Kids will deliver on-demand, multimedia, multi-platform, digital subscription services for children and families globally.

Industry veteran, Nancy MacIntyre will serve as Chief Executive Officer, leading the newly-created division, which will include existing Sandbox properties Hopster and Curious World alongside Fingerprint’s Kidomi.

Sandbox Kids combines Fingerprint’s award-winning content and subscription expertise with Sandbox’s growing portfolio of global brands and expedites the growth of its customer-base that already reaches more than 55 million families monthly.

Sandbox Kids will offer kid-safe, age-appropriate digital content to the more than 1.14 billion kids globally who have access to mobile devices.
