Digital Communications and Design Coordinator

Fairplay, formerly known as Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC), is the leading watchdog of the children’s media and marketing industries and the only organization dedicated to ending child-targeted marketing. Fairplay works to enhance children’s wellbeing by eliminating the exploitative and harmful business practices of marketers and Big Tech. Our organization holds companies accountable for their harmful marketing and platform design choices, and advocates for policies that both protect children when they are online and help young people get the offline time they need to thrive. Our work routinely makes headlines around the world, and our advocacy has forced some of the world’s biggest corporations – including Google, Disney, Mattel, Meta, and Amazon – to change their marketing and data collection practices. Fairplay is the home of the Screen Time Action Network, a global coalition of children’s screen time activists and advocates working to reduce excessive technology use harming children, adolescents, and families.
