SESAME STREET

THE LONGEST STREET IN THE WORLD

Featuring The Sesame Street Muppets, animation, live shorts, humor and celebrity appearances Sesame Street was the first television program of its kind to base its content and production values on formative research in the creation of the show’s design and content. Initial responses to the show included revelatory reviews, some controversy and high ratings. It was the first and only of it’s class when first aired in 1969, earning it’s place in television history and the hearts of generations of loyal fans. Today, it’s parent company, Sesame Workshop (formally Children’s Television Workshop), has expanded into a multitude of areas to sustain the non-profit organization, including publications of books and music, international co-productions, interactive media and new technologies, licensing arrangements, and outreach programs to preschoolers and at-risk children. Sesame Street has won eight Grammys and over a 150 Emmys in its history—more than any other show

Branding for such a beloved and complex organization takes a dedicated creative team to maintain the heritage of the past, while continuing to evolve the brand for future generations. Join us for a walk down “the longest street in the world” to discuss the multi-layered, multi-media effort to attract and maintain loyal fans and why nearly 50 years later, it’s more important than ever.
