Barbie Pink Billboards

When Mattel and Universal teamed up to promote the Barbie movie, they didn’t hold back. The streets were adorned with vibrant pink billboards that captured the attention of Barbie enthusiasts and passersby alike. Whether you were a die-hard Barbie fan or simply intrigued by the striking pink hue, these billboards sparked conversations and generated buzz around the movie release.
Sopranos Guerilla Marketing Stunt

In a clever nod to the popular TV series “The Sopranos,” HBO orchestrated a guerilla marketing stunt that left New Yorkers puzzled and intrigued. Yellow taxis sporting bumper stickers and a fake arm dangling out of the trunk captured the essence of the show’s gritty and suspenseful nature, garnering attention from both fans and curious onlookers.
The Simpsons Movie

Despite already being a beloved franchise, “The Simpsons” movie marketing team raised the bar with a brilliant stunt that delighted fans across the country. By transforming select 7-Eleven stores into real-life Kwik-E-Marts, complete with iconic signage and themed merchandise, they brought the fictional world of Springfield to life in a way that captured the hearts of fans old and new.
These campaigns exemplify the power of creative storytelling and strategic marketing in driving audience engagement and excitement for movie and TV releases. By seamlessly integrating the worlds of entertainment and marketing, these campaigns not only captivated viewers but also left a lasting impression that extended far beyond the screen.
