by mitchlaoffice, posted in Partnerships, Properties

Less than 30 days into Summer and we have already tracked (and added) over 75 entertainment promotions to the MarketingPartnerships.com partnership database. This Summer is going to be a record breaker for the partnership community.  

Ever since JAWS created the idea of the Summer Movie Blockbuster, brands have been bringing their consumers closer to these movies through marketing partnerships and promotions. Here are 6 partnerships kick-starting the Summer for Marvel’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2: VOLUME 2, Paramount’s BAYWATCH and Disney’s PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN; DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: VOLUME 2

Doritos:

Marvel Entertainment also got together with Doritos for the “Choose Your Guardian” promotion and giveaway that celebrated the release of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 in theaters.

Fans could visit a webpage and select one of the five Guardians of the Galaxy to begin their Doritos adventure. After doing so, they could use the code on specially marked Doritos products for a given amount of entries on the website. Each Guardian selected had a number of different prizes for entrants to win.

As more codes were entered per Guardian chosen, more and more valuable prizes were unlocked to win. Some of the grand prizes included trips to Las Vegas, a music festival in Chicago, studio tours, a Ninja Warrior experience, a trip to San Francisco, a Treesort Experience and more.

The partnership also included six exclusive character-focused mini featurettes.  Click here for more information.

Geico:

To support the release of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2, Marvel and Geico teamed up for a cross-promotional ad. The digital and TV spot featured the insurance company’s fan-favorite mascot Gecko teaming up with one of the characters from the film to save customers money on car insurance.  Click on the above image for more information!

 

BAYWATCH

Sprint:

Paramount Pictures and Sprint partnered to celebrate the theatrical release of BAYWATCH. The promotion included a television spot in which Sprint introduces the “Unlimited Lifeguard”, promoting the wireless carrier’s unlimited plans with themes of the film.

Under Amour

Paramount Pictures also partnered with Under Armour teamed up for a multi-faceted partnership to promote the theatrical release of BAYWATCH. The partnership included a new line of film-inspired apparel, which included swimwear as well as men’s and women’s tee-shirts.

Additionally, the athletic wear brand created the “Under Armour + BAYWATCH Challenge” for its mapmyfitness mobile app. Users who logged 20 workouts between April 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, were eligible to win a trip for two to Santa Monica, CA. Workout durations could not be less than 20-minutes and could not exceed four-hours, with a maximum of two qualified workouts per day. The app awarded users for reaching various milestones throughout the challenge including the first and tenth workout.

One user was randomly selected to receive the grand prize which consisted of a three-night trip for two to Santa Monica, a Pacific Ocean sunset dinner cruise and $500 spending money.

It’s going to be a Blockbuster Summer for entertainment partnerships!!

by alinelaoffice, posted in Opportunities, Partnerships, Properties

As the largest brand, character and art marketplace tradeshow, the Licensing Show offers great insight into the players and trends that drive the $251.7 billion licensing business. More than 400 exhibitors representing over 5,000 brands from 65+ countries will gather in Las Vegas next week for the “largest, most diverse collection of properties and brands available for licensing worldwide.” 1

At the show, you can see which brands and characters will be in demand in the next 18-24 months in order to get a head start on your brand planning. With so much to experience, we’ve pin-pointed 8 things we are looking forward to seeing that you shouldn’t miss if you plan to attend. Don’t worry, if you are unable to attend, we’ll provide a post-show recap!

Activision Blizzard

 Activision

Known primarily for record-breaking video game releases, Activision Blizzard (CALL OF DUTY, SKYLANDER, WORLD OF WARCRAFT+) is quickly growing to become a global entertainment force. With recent King Digital Entertainment (CANDY CRUSH, PET RESCUE+) and Major League Gaming (e-sports) acquisitions; its studio division set to develop original film and TV series based on games; and various planned brand licensing and consumer products expansions, they will surely have quite a buzz at the show. To see more information on SKYLANDERS, CALL OF DUTY and other gaming opportunities for your brand, hit up our Properties section here.

Food and Beverage Brands

FoodBev

Familiar brands like Coca-Cola, Kellogg’s, Mars, McDonald’s, Pepsi Co., Welch’s and many more will be “finding new life with licensing deals” according to the folks at LIMA. We are excited to see what these family-friendly food and beverage names have in store, along with more adult-geared ones, like Budweiser, Campari (kicking off Negroni Week shortly after in June) and Corona, to name a few. If you work at, or with, food and beverage brands, check out hundreds of properties that can help companies like these forge creative ways to connect with consumers, here.

Marvel Entertainment

Marvel

With a library of over 8,000 characters built over more than 70 years of comic book publishing, Marvel Entertainment, Inc. is one of the world’s most prominent character-based entertainment companies. Following years of smash hits, Marvel Entertainment’s 2017/2018 slate is once again full of theatrical and television opportunities that could be perfect for so many brands. Recent Marvel releases like GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2, and CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR partnered with a host of great names including Doritos, Yoplait, Dairy Queen, Lamborghini, MasterCard and many more.

Nintendo 

Nintendo

Nintendo’s latest “hybrid” console, Nintendo Switch, was unveiled in October 2016, released worldwide on March 3, 2017, and the frenzy continues. Designed as a home console that can also be detached and used on the go, it launched alongside the release of critically acclaimed “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” worldwide, making it the fastest-selling home console in its history. In addition to releasing the Switch, Nintendo has participated in some creative partnerships recently with McDonalds, Southwest Airlines and Uniqlo, to name a few, and we can’t wait to see what’s next! Details on the Switch, as well as these partnerships can be found here.

After recent animated hits like TROLLS (DreamWorks), SING (with Illumination) and THE BOSS BABY (DreamWorks), Universal broke box office records with the (non-animated) eighth installment of the FAST AND FURIOUS franchise (THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS).

Check out if these and other properties fit your brand here.
