Interesting… Bounty have changed their description on LinkedIn - it used to say (a month ago): "Bounty is the UK’s favourite parenting club and Bounty Media is the market leading media owner in the parenting category with a strong portfolio of six unique media channels communicating with parents, women and growing families. Bounty’s 50 year pedigree has made it one of the most trusted businesses within this sector, with the power to influence both the purchasing habits of parents and women, and the marketing success of the brand owners and clients who work with Bounty.” Now it says: "As a free to join parenting club, Bounty has been giving mums more for more than 50 years. We help new and expectant mums to learn, share and save – throughout pregnancy, young family life and beyond Through relevant commercial partnerships, Bounty members receive offers, discounts, samples and more from leading brands and retailers Bounty is a responsible company and we feel very strongly about using our capability in a positive way to support government, charities and organisations in providing information and support to parents. We get involved in supporting a host of charities in the parenting arena that echo our aim of helping families get the most out of family life. This work and effort means an awful lot to the charities and all the families they touch, and it makes us immensely proud to know the difference our business can make. Our long-term charity partner is Tommy’s – we fund 3 research midwives and jointly promote the ‘5 Point Pregnancy Plan’ to mums-to-be, to improve their health and that of their baby.
