Tessa works with MegaPlayer as a blogger/intern and has a special role in helping us stay close to the tween & teen youth markets. Many “experts” predict what kind of technologies kids will adopt or make assumptions about ways in which today’s youth think about the mobile, always connected, ever social world they live in. Tessa’s role is to keep us real. When we develop content, activations or even wholesale platforms for youth audiences, Tessa is with keeping us on the right path.
