Time to Challenge the Conventional Definition of Brand Safety

For young audiences, social media content can deeply resonate with them—both the positive and the negative—and can impact their choices and self-perception. At-risk youth, including those with self-harm ideations, are particularly susceptible to harmful content beyond the obvious viral offerings like product misuse challenges. This harmful content isn't always obvious to brands or algorithms.

This discussion aims to reframe "brand safety" by incorporating youth safety and wellbeing, using personal experiences and expert insights, and how we can collectively come together to nurture a positive digital environment with engaging and uplifting content for youth.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
