About tonies:

We’re tonies®, makers of the Toniebox, an award-winning, screen-free audio system designed for little listeners ages three and up. We believe childhood should be a time filled with curiosity, wonder, and imagination – not spent staring at screens. Through audio stories and songs, the Toniebox offers a safe and playful way for children to experience the magic of narrative long before they can read the words on a page. With millions of Tonieboxes sold worldwide, we’re redefining storytime and offering families a better option when it comes to the entertainment they offer their kids. Our story is just getting started, and in 2021 we were proudly named one of Fast Company's World's Most Innovative Companies.

As we scale globally, we’re investing in bold, integrated brand campaigns that show up consistently across markets, channels, and touchpoints. That requires not just strong ideas, but exceptional execution at scale.
