Mattel - ‘Bob the Builder’ Vox PopMedia Effectiveness
Environment: Playhouse
Media: 6-Sheets Campaign: National
To support the relaunch of Bob the Builder, Mattel wanted to reach children aged 2-5 and their parents in a fun environment.
The challenge
Ran a 6-sheet campaign across playhouses nationally. The posters were situated in key areas in each centre to reach younger children and their parents.
What we did
Mattel were delighted with the campaign, click here to see a Vox Pop video from Gambado Chelsea.
The results
With the summer holidays arriving and parents looking for ideas for things to do as a family, Cineworld took advantage of the high footfall leisure centres, shopping malls and play houses offer to promote their family movies. They utilised 6-sheets and D6’s to communicate with parents at key times throughout their visit, such as sitting in the café or by the swimming pool, to drive them to a nearby Cineworld.
Cineworld
In order to promote the new ‘Top Cat’ film in front of a child & family focused audience, Warner Brothers tapped into our active family pack. 6-sheet posters were positioned across the playhouse & leisure centre networks to communicate with their target audience at a time when they would be thinking about planning future activities.

Lionsgate wanted to promote the release of the film ‘Miniscule’ amongst young families.

AstraZeneca, a pharmaceutical and healthcare company, wanted to raise awareness of their free flu jabs available for young children. They wanted to target parents, and our playhouse network was the perfect opportunity for them to do so.

Bear Foods wanted to encourage trial of their Alphabite cereal range. As such, we distributed 50,000 samples in playhouses, which were supported by child-engaging activity sheets and a money-off coupon for mum to utilise later.
