Dear CASO Members & Kidscreen Attendees,

Our marketing focus for Kidscreen 2012 builds on the momentum of last years Kidscreen market.  Our mandate is to market Ontario studios internationally and to present Ontario as THE PLACE to be for animation production.

Traffic to our booth was steady last year and this year we expect an even better turn out. Please drop by the booth to view the new animation reel representing the "best of the best" work that was produced in Ontario in 2011. Last year's demo reel was a magnate to the booth and this year we expect the same. 

We have also produced "take-away" material that is not only functional but informative and will keep the CASO name and studio information at the fingertips of broadcasters, buyers and producers well beyond their Kidscreen experience.

This year we are also invited Interactive Ontario to participate as a booth partner to fortify the Ontario presence at the market.

We do urge to drop by the booth, pick up some cool swag and to check out what CASO is doing on behalf of it's members.

Have a fantastic market!
