North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 648)
Titania Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Parent Officer at Bark Technologies, joined host John Ray to discuss the Bark App, which helps parent monitor children’s online activity, and the new Bark phone, introduced in December 2022, to further help parents with their children’s technology. Tatania also talked about how Bark helps notify parents when they detect a potential crisis in their child, how trends in mental health issues in children correlate with social media exposure, the problems with iPhones, TikTok, and much more.
North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.
Bark’s affordable, award-winning dashboard proactively monitors text messages, YouTube, emails, and 30+ different social networks for potential safety concerns, so busy parents can save time and gain peace of mind.
Technology changes by the second, leaving parents feeling like their children’s digital world is out of their control. But it’s not.
Bark is an accurate, efficient and robust tool for helping parents keep their children safe online.
With sophisticated technologies that go well beyond simple keyword matching or requiring parents to monitor all of their children’s online activities, Bark alerts parents only when there is a credible threat – be it sexting, cyberbullying, Internet predators or even suicidal thoughts.
These alerts, combined with research-based recommendations for addressing the issue head-on, put more power in parents’ hands to address digital dangers. Plus, because Bark is unobtrusive, it helps parents build trust and truly partner with their children for online safety.

One of her favorite childhood memories is her dad asking her to “figure out this new computer thing” (i.e., read the Microsoft Windows 3.0 user manual) in the early ‘90s and later teaching him to navigate the wild west of the early internet that would eventually turn into the online world we know today.
When she’s not busy trying to make the world a safer place for kids, Titania enjoys painting with her son.
