They are the ones that we are here for and this is a direct response to the feedbacks that we have got from the two editions of the Cussons Baby Moments, where some parents wanted us to take it a notch higher and include children that were older than the target audience, which we are looking for in the photo competition.” According to her the new initiative is tied to the brand communication platform of Cussons Baby Moments, which is celebrating, exciting and happy moments with children.
An elated MI who spoke on behalf of other judges said that the team is passionate about the new assignment and will put in everything to ensure that the kids are properly judged.
