Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: GROM) - Grom Social ambassador
Caroline Marks, one of two women who
represented Team USA at the
Tokyo 2021 Summer Olympics,
inspired a huge surge in downloads of the Grom Social app last
weekend, resulting in more than 5000 new users for the
platform. A safe social media site for kids under 13 years old
and the brainchild of Caroline's older brother, Zach, Grom Social
recently unveiled a weeklong celebration of the 19-year-old
Olympian offering updates exclusively for Grom Social users
(www.gromsocial.com), giving them one-of-a-kind access to her
journey to Tokyo to compete in the
Olympic games.
"My family could not be prouder of Caroline's performance at the
Olympic games." - Zach Marks,
Founder, Grom Social
Initially launched in 2012 as a website, Grom Social has grown
into a safe and viable social media opportunity for kids under the
age of 13 -- the benchmark age for most social media sites that
kids can join. Grom invites parent participation, is monitored 24/4
for content and operates under the guidelines of the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act, which is designed to safeguard kids
online. Grom is the only social media app for kids under 13 that
allows them to post and share videos and enjoy the fun of social
media that is typically reserved for older kids.
"My family could not be prouder of Caroline's performance at the
Olympic games – both in and out of the water. Her sportsmanship and
display of grace under pressure can serve as an inspiration to both
kids and adults alike," explains Zach
Marks, Grom Social Media's Founder and Chief Kid
Officer. "Caroline's commitment to sharing her journey to the
Olympics with Grom subscribers clearly resonated with kids.
And the parallels of Caroline safely surfing in the ocean and
keeping kids safe while surfing social media is an important
message that is clearly breaking though."
