NEW YORK, November 1, 2024 – Realm, an audio-first digital media company, is thrilled to announce the visual rebrand of Pinna, its award-winning kids & family audio streaming service. Acquired by Realm in 2023, Pinna has been recognized by Fast Company as one of the world’s most innovative companies, offering families a wide array of top-tier screen-free programming.
Over the past year, Pinna has expanded its reach making it easier than ever for families to enjoy the series they love in the car and the kitchen, and at bedtime. These expansions include the wide release of original content across podcast platforms, upcoming books based on Opal Watson and Quentin & Alfie’s ABC Adventures, and content partnerships with Yoto and StoryPod.
Pinna also continues to bring new content to its own platform, most recently announcing a partnership with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, a highly anticipated fifth season of fairy tale inspired Grimm, Grimmer, Grimmest and more content partnerships on the horizon.
To underscore this expansion and evolution of the brand, Pinna is launching a refreshed visual identity. The new branding introduces mascot “Pinna”, a character connecting kids and their families to the power of engaging and fun audio content across the Pinna platforms.
“We’re extremely proud of the work we’ve done to increase accessibility to Pinna’s amazing library of content to families around the globe,” said Molly Barton, CEO and Co-Founder of Realm. “As we move into a new chapter for Pinna, we’re excited to bring a new look and mascot to the brand which fully communicates the fun and engaging content we love to share, while also underlining our commitment to invest in Pinna and belief in the value of kids & family audio.”
The new design will be introduced across all Pinna platforms, including its subscription-based streaming service and marketing materials, enhancing the user experience for kids and families. To celebrate this next chapter, Pinna will also be hosting a Grimm Listening Party with award-winning writer and host Adam Gidwitz on November 2nd, in Brooklyn, offering fans an early preview of the upcoming season of Grimm, Grimmer, Grimmest, set to release in 2025.
