Partnering with the United Nations

The United Nations and Mattel launched a collaboration to introduce the Sustainable Development Goals to preschool audiences through the animated children’s series Thomas & Friends.

Our team developed parent-targeted social content as well as a dedicated micro-site, both designed to help parents around the world teach their children about sustainability and begin meaningful conversations about it at home.

The content and website were localized into 15+ countries and multiple languages.

United Nations

A Microsite

The United Nations microsite site contains an overview of each of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, as well as early childhood educational videos, parent tips, and interactive activities.

PARENTING CONTENT

Driving engagement

With a focus on relatable parenting content for millennial moms, our creative strategy extended the brand’s reach through always-on social content, DIY videos (including preschool and birthday content), and parenting humor memes.  

Celebrating an iconic brand

Our team developed a series of DIY videos–birthday cakes, preschool crafts, Halloween costumes–that deepened superfans’ connections with a beloved character. Whether it was a birthday party Thomas cupcake cake or a DIY Thomas Minis clock, these easy and creative projects gave followers a new way to celebrate and connect with Thomas, driving unprecedented social growth.

This content was posted on both the Thomas & Friends and Nick Junior social channels.

Content Creators

Working with content creators and influencers, we developed micro-content to amplify the brand across multiple channels, and capitalize on relevant trends.
