CYFS launches Kindred Media

Kindred Media provides communications and media services in Nebraska and beyond.

In a time of information overload, clear communication cuts through the noise and connects with audiences. Sharing an effective message across all platforms is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. 

To help meet that need, the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools has launched Kindred Media

Kindred Media is a creative team dedicated to providing communications and media services to individuals and organizations working to make a positive difference in people’s lives. The team collaborates with educators, researchers, nonprofits, and other public and private organizations in Nebraska and beyond to understand their needs, shape their messages and bring their work to life in ways that create lasting impact. 

From classrooms to communities, Kindred Media provides strategic thinking, creative solutions and evidence-based insights to reach audiences, elevate brands and achieve clients’ goals. 

The team has an expansive portfolio supporting research, education and community-centered initiatives, including early childhood development, pre-K-12 and postsecondary education, child, youth and family services, community engagement, and health and well-being. 

Kindred Media allows the center to expand its reach, said Sue Sheridan, CYFS founding director.  

“Now more than ever, strong communication is essential for connecting people to the ideas, programs and resources that support children, youth, families, schools, agencies and communities,” Sheridan said. “Kindred Media strengthens our ability to partner with those doing meaningful work and to ensure their efforts are accessible, visible and positioned to make a lasting impact.” 

Kindred Media’s services include:  

  • Branding 
  • Graphic design 
  • Strategic communication
  • Web design and development
  • Application development and data support
  • Video and audio production
  • Interactive learning
  • Social media

All communications products are designed to meet federal accessibility standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title II requirements.
