The survey has once again produced exciting results for the year 2025: Microsoft Teams is new to the top 6 most popular platforms.

    'Media Ukkie Days' campaign in the Netherlands

    Our yearly Media Ukkie campaign is focused on the youngest children from 0 to 6 years old, and their parents. The theme of the Media Ukkie Days 2024 was Relaxing with Media. The role media plays in helping children - and ourselves - relax became evident through the results of the Iene Miene Media research. No less than 91 per cent of parents sometimes use digital media to create time for themselves. However, many parents (50 per cent) also observe that digital media do not necessarily help their little ones relax.
