    • Dress-up Game
    • This dress up game will touch on our audience’s fondest childhood memories and open them up to the new fashions we have in store for them. This campaign will do more than simply bank on nostalgia – playing a childhood game with new fashion styles including outfits they’re very likely to wear today and can feasibly get their hands on for themselves will put a fresh spin on the concept. This might also be useful for real world outfit coordination and those who wish to match with their dolls.
    • Accessory Pop-up shop
    • This pop-up shop will sell both accessories for the buyer and matching ones for the doll. Should the buyer not have any dolls, which is very very likely for our target audience despite still enjoying the brand, this will incentivize them to buy a doll at the bare minimum. Whether it’s the advertised line or an existing one. The doll accessories will come for free with each purchase but the option to buy only the mini accessory will be available.
    • Past Bratz fashion campaign quiz
    • A quiz on the past fashion eras the bratz have undergone will be available on the website. This will remind die-hard fans of their roots and strengthen their bond with the brand. The variety of Fashion explored in the past will also soften any potential critique that the current direction the Bratz are taking is “unlike them”, or against the established brand. This quiz will also be a fun resource of interesting facts for those unfamiliar with the brand’s creative history.
    • Collab with doll-influencers on social media
    • This method will get swarms of eyes on our product, likely better than any other campaign here. It is a direct pipeline to our audience and others who might be interested. Not only will this spread the word but it will also generate hype for the product and make it clear what the public views the doll’s strengths and weaknesses are. Any critiques from the public and be rectified before official release.
    • Webisodes featuring the new fashion
    • This is another campaign that touches on old doll/toy brand behaviors. The brand has already released webisodes recently so this technique is far from unfamiliar. These webisodes will act as yet another method of opening our audience up to the new fashion styles. It will be done subtly, the Bratz will present themselves authentically whilst wearing something slightly different than usual. The episodes will also have an overarching arc around trying new things and avoiding fashion waste. Unlike the webisodes of the past however, these should be cross posted on both the brand’s site and social media.
    • Billboard Expanding on Print Ad
    • This OOH, while different, will feel like a continuation of the print ad. The elements of nature will persist in the billboard in addition to our anti-fast fashion and fashion waste message. The imagery will include a bratz girl fishing a pristine outfit out of the trash in stunned amazement. What She’s wearing will be a combination of the old style and the looks we are transitioning to, to show our movement into the next era.
