The Toy Association and Clamour‘s “Best of Holiday 2021″ Influencer Choice List is here.
Highlighting top toys and games chosen by influencers in the Clamour network, the list will help families complete their holiday shopping early this year amid global supply chain bottlenecks and toy shortages.
After toy companies submitted their products for consideration in September, the Toy Association and Clamour invited a panel of digital influencers to vote on their favorites. The influencers reviewed product details, photos, and physical samples when available before casting their votes. Voters were required to have at least one million monthly views on their main platform and a social reach of more than 500,000.
“We are excited to unveil a well-rounded list of skill-building, creative, and innovative toys and games that will get the entire family playing together this holiday season,” said Adrienne Appell, senior vice president of marketing communications at The Toy Association. “Our partnership with Clamour gave toy companies a unique chance to get their brands in front of digital content creators and their followers ahead of the all-important holiday shopping season, and the list of winning products will provide parents with an amazing gift guide as they look to complete their shopping early amid all the uncertainties related to shipping and potential product shortages in the weeks ahead.”
”The influencers had an amazing selection of new products to see for Holiday 2021 — they’ve selected fun options for the whole family,” added Victoria Fener, COO of Clamour. “We noticed that STEAM products were particularly highlighted in this season’s favorites along with innovative designs and reinvented classics.”
