3 Nielsen online competitive spend tracking is limited to the major sites and networks, thus excluding much of the activity carried by our key trading partners. In order to keep up to date of competitive activity in this space we manually search the sites and platforms for visibility of relevant online activity available in the public domain. This data is then combined with campaign information picked up by Nielsen reporting. Estimations of investment levels are then made based on the mechanic, visibility and duration of activity based on the following scale: 1. Low level of Investment 2. Moderate Level of Investment 3. High Level of Investment 0k-15k 15k- 30k 30k+

42 Final Fantasy utilised countdown mechanism to build excitement for launch over Black Friday weekend

43 November continued to see Toys and Games brands being extremely active across the digital space. With some larger brands including Anki Overdrive spending 200,000+ with one publisher alone. As inventory increases in demand we are seeing an increasing number of sites employing more hard-hitting (and expensive) formats which in previous months haven t been selected by advertisers such as Expandable MPUs and Floor Ads. Even at a basic aesthetic level, sites look busier with ads, notably the networks of Disney, SuperAwesome and Venatus. Brands big and small are investing in Influencers. ToysAndMe continues to the be most popular but Gorgeous Movies, EthanGamer and Emily Tube are all seeing larger numbers of Toys and Games brands. Kids sites such as Disney and Nick seem to use as a chance to build awareness with lower levels of spend. While the larger builds are seen across the networks of SuperAwesome and Venatus Toys-to-life brands such as Skylanders are investing significantly in a mobile strategy to reach new audiences.
