### Overview of the New Brand 'Cocoton'
#### Background and Concept
Currently, 'mama creators' who share lifestyle tips and parenting know-how have significant influence on YouTube and other SNS platforms. However, balancing these activities with housework and childcare often brings challenges such as a sense of isolation, lack of expertise, and the burden of coordinating and negotiating collaborations with companies.
C&R decided to launch Cocoton to utilize the YouTube management knowledge cultivated through OC and create an environment where mother creators can shine in their own way and contribute to society through their creativity.
#### About the New Brand Logo
The Cocoton logo was born from the idea of empathizing with children and families from a mother's unique perspective and gently giving shape to ideas. The logo features a soft, abstract form that expresses femininity, a sense of security, and flexibility. The curves, which may also resemble hair, symbolize a warm eye on children's individuality and growth. The gentle colors and design are intended to inspire the viewer's imagination and subtly accompany daily life.
