CYA Systems
Enterprise pipelines for kids’ IP that actually work.
CYA Systems designs the data, workflows, and tools that power preschool entertainment, toys, and publishing—so your teams stop hunting for files and start building franchises.
Asset & Metadata Architecture
Design how your assets are named, tagged, stored, and distributed across animation, toys, licensing, and publishing. A structure that survives real production chaos.
Systems Integration & Workflow Design
We map how work actually moves through your organization, then rewire it. One pipeline across MAM, DAM, cloud storage, rights tools, review platforms, and licensing portals.
Built for teams who operate children’s franchises, not just make shows.
CYA Systems works with companies that sit at the intersection of animation, toys, licensing, and publishing—where every episode should fuel years of products, guides, campaigns, and extensions.
- Entertainment & Franchise Leadership
- Heads of Production / Operations
- Consumer Products & Licensing teams
- Brand & Design leads
- Marketing, Social, and YouTube teams
- Publishing & Gaming partners
You’re not Disney, but your IP deserves Disney-grade systems.
Most kids’ brands run multi-million-dollar franchises on shared drives, random Box folders, and whatever names a vendor decided to use. Assets get lost, remade, or underused. Teams dig through scripts and animatics just to build YouTube shorts, sticker books, campaigns, and decks—while deadlines keep compressing.
CYA Systems designs the real pipeline: where assets live, how they’re tagged, who can find them, and how they move from production to toys, style guides, licensing portals, marketing, and beyond.
Outcomes – not buzzwords
Faster Time-to-Market
Go from “We should make a holiday campaign” to “Here are 40 approved assets” in days, not weeks.
Less Asset Waste
Stop paying external vendors to recreate art you already produced during the show.
Clean Distribution
Internal teams, partners, and vendors all work from one source of truth. No mystery ZIP files.
Higher ROI
Every episode becomes fuel for shorts, books, packaging, presentations, and campaigns.
