A Geek Daddy Blog Named Brand Ambassador For National Geographic Kids

National Geographic has announced that A Geek Daddy Blog will be one of the family bloggers who will participate in the National Geographic Kids Insider brand ambassador program for the 2015-2016 school year. During this time, the “Insiders” will get a behind-the-scenes look at National Geographic’s resources, activities, content and projects for kids and families. They will receive review copies of books, magazines and toys, and will be offered interviews with authors, explorers and editors.  All “Insiders” are also given a badge to display on their sites.

“We’re thrilled to welcome these passionate bloggers to join us in our mission of teaching kids about the planet and empowering them to succeed,” said National Geographic Chief Education Officer Melina Bellows. “This impressive group of bloggers comes from all across North America, and they are dedicated to raising the global citizens our planet so desperately needs.”

“Over the past few years, we have evolved our program through feedback to form deeper and more meaningful relationships with our bloggers, who we see as true partners,” said Anna Irwin, director of the National Geographic Kids Insider program. “We hope this year’s group is as excited as we are about all the cool projects, books and programs we have in store for kids and families.”
