Client Brief
Leverage excitement around the theatrical releases of Wicked and Wicked: For Good in consecutive years to raise consumer awareness of the thrillifying retail product ranges available at Smyths Toys and ASDA.
Position Wicked as an aspirational, magical and family-friendly brand for parents, tweens and teens, driving retail sales through warm, authentic influencer storytelling.
Both campaigns aimed to inspire families to discover retailer-exclusive Wicked products in-store and at home.
Our Response
To sprinkle a little Emerald City magic across retail, LtPR devised a two-part influencer strategy that supported both the Wicked and Wicked: For Good film launches – each tailored to its retail partner while keeping the heart, humour and spellbinding spirit of Wicked at its core.
For both campaigns, we selected creators who naturally embodied Wicked’s themes of sisterhood, friendship and family. Working closely with each influencer, we ensured content felt enchantingly authentic while still delivering a clear call to action for families to discover the exclusive Wicked ranges available at Smyths Toys and ASDA.
The Smyths Toys campaign ignited early excitement with colourful unboxings. This was elevated by a fantabulous bonus moment when both influencers were whisked away to an exclusive Wicked screening. Their early access to the film sparked a wave of organic content that deepened their connection to the brand and amplified conversation ahead of release day.
For ASDA, our approach shifted into cosy, heart-warming storytelling. Through a magical Mummy & Me journey, our family lifestyle influencer captured the joy of discovering ASDA’s Wicked-inspired treats, toys and movie-night must-haves, followed by a spellbinding at-home celebration that showed families exactly how easy it is to “Bring the Magic of Wicked Home with ASDA.”
Together, these campaigns created a powerful Emerald City ripple – blending retail storytelling, fan excitement and cinematic anticipation to drive families in-store, inspire at-home Wicked moments, and fill social feeds with a little bit of green, glittering wonder.
