About Us

Who We Are

FamilyHype is a team of parents and individuals that are devoted to putting the HYPE (positive publicity & promotion) back into the family dynamic. By the end of 2022, we expect to have helped more than 5 million parents and families to find the perfect product or information they need for the benefit of their family.

 

What We Do

We collectively spend countless hours each day of the week testing, reviewing, and researching products and topics that benefit every family member. The products that we test and the information we research are for the benefit of parents, children, extended family members, or close family friends.

 

Our History

FamilyHype was created as a result of a father realizing he needed to understand better the products he and his spouse were considering purchasing for their first child, which was then followed by a second child. In addition to looking for and researching products and information that would help his children, he realized that some of the most helpful recommendations and perspectives came from other parents.

 

It was from those personal experiences that he decided to create, promote, and grow the FamilyHype website and brand. With the realization that each day of the week families is being started, growing, and changing… it was a very easy decision to grow the team of contributors, researchers, authors, and editors that would share their experiences and findings on the FamilyHype.com website.

 

Our Team

The team here at FamilyHype.com consists of 16 individuals with a combined 230 years of experience as parents raising children, caring for grandchildren, taking care of siblings, or supporting a nuclear family.

 

Our Vision

With 230 years of shared experience within our team here at FamilyHype, we have created millions of words of helpful content, hand-selected thousands of images, and reviewed and/or tested 1,000s of products that can positively influence and help support the family dynamic.

 

We believe that if we continue on the path we’ve been on in recent years, we will soon be able to express that proudly:

 

FamilyHype is the most complete and well-researched family-focused website in existence.
