THE BRIEF:

THE RESPONSE:

  • Challenge celebrity parents Joe Swash, Jordan Banjo and Ferne McCann to plan, build and reveal an amazing and imaginative Sodor railway featuring the latest toy sets for their children to enjoy playing with.

  • The creative was played out across all campaign assets, including lock-up, printed materials, video end frames and social templates.

  • Influencers’ kit boxes were designed in-line with the overall creative, and were bursting with hero product and themed props, as well as branded collateral incl. hints & tips, stickers, themed backdrops and colour-in sheets to encourage further play.

  • A hero edit featuring the influencers’ #ThomasTrackChallenge creations was promoted via paid social, with a call to action for fans to build their own Thomas tracks. Plus, fans were encouraged to like their favourite track from the hero video for a chance to win Thomas & Friends vouchers.
