The two companies also teamed up to provide content for
device-free events. Evite has also designed device-free themed
digital invitations, and developed content about device-free
gatherings.
"Since Common Sense Media first launched the #DeviceFreeDinner
campaign, the response has been overwhelmingly positive," said
James P. Steyer, Founder and Chief
Executive Officer of Common Sense Media. "Research confirms the
importance of family dinner for kids, including better
vocabularies, fewer behavior problems, less substance abuse, and
more."
"The New Year is the perfect time to commit to new habits,
including spending time with loved ones face-to-face without
distraction," said Victor Cho, Chief
