Online-first for the Bakuverse
Together with Spin Master, Mediaplus combined three success factors from media and content, for the first time, into an effective online-first involvement strategy for the Bakuverse.
Maximum reach: Based on a sophisticated content foundation, we built a dedicated content hub, including a microsite for the Bakugan universe, on toggo.de, a high-reach portal for young audiences. This gave the new toy line a digital home that made up for the missing TV presence.
Maximum involvement: We engaged the young target audience through an activating approach featuring various mini-games and captivating videos centered on the Bakuverse. Instead of just watching, kids could actively immerse themselves in the toy world.
Additional traffic push: A cross-media 360° campaign with engaging ad formats and game teasers around the “Bakuverse” gave the new toy line an extra attention boost and drove additional traffic to the content hub.
Result: Despite having no TV series and facing a better-funded competitor, Spin Master achieved a 43 percent market share and increased target audience involvement by more than 139 percent.
