PP 2 - Image Enhancement



  Targeted media campaigns allow the business to optimize its advertising efforts by delivering relevant content to the right audience segments, resulting in increased brand awareness, customer engagement, and improved return on investment. The advertisements for the Barbie movie accurately represent targeted media campaigns.

   The Barbie movie shows the beautiful life of Barbie and Ken in their dream world until things start to change for Barbie. This leads her to travel to the real world to fix what has been broken. While in the real world, they experience emotions and joys outside of Barbie's world. Ken joins her but then soon returns and changes Barbie's remarkable life. Some describe this movie as the battle of the sexes. Ken learns in the real world that men usually have jobs like construction workers, while in Barbie, all jobs belong to females. By the film's end, Barbie successfully returns to the Barbie world as it always was.

   

  The advertisement for this movie was nothing but spectacular. Everywhere I looked, I saw a new advertisement video for this movie. Margot Robbie playing Barbie and Ken being Ryan Gosling were good advertisements. Before the film, companies everywhere released Barbie-themed items, such as Barbie CrocsBarbie OnCloudsBarbie Stanley cups, and so much more. The Barbie movie did an excellent job of advertising to its target audience. This movie was advertised on Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, and other social media sites. 


  

    The Barbie movie's main targets were little girls and families. You would see these advertisements on television commercials, and the movie would have commercials run on children's TV channels. Online advertising, where banners, trailers, and sponsored content are shown on social media sites. Merchandising Tie-ins consist of dolls, toys, clothing, accessories, and more. Promotional events like meet-and-greets with the actresses and actors that play in Barbie. They will also host themed activities promoting the movie in toy stores or entertainment venues. Collaborations with other brands to cross-promote, for example, the Barbie Crocs, previously mentioned. Press releases and interviews are arranged with the cast and crew to generate media coverage and buzz around the movie's release. A lot of these types of videos were seen all over TikTok.


  Everyone was so excited about this movie because it would be a way to take everybody back to childhood. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the outcome of the movie. They took the idea of patriarchy and ran with it. We all expected it to be a live version of our favorite Barbie movies as kids, but they found more than ten ways to pull politics into the film. The most disappointing part was that you would not have been able to tell from the trailer that it was a political film. After leaving the theater, I was confused about what I had just paid money to see. 


   The Hollywood Reporter states, "Barbie's release in theaters this weekend caps one of the most extensive and impressive marketing campaigns in recent memory. Put another way: Rarely does a film become a cultural touchstone before it opens in cinemas. Warner Bros.' Barbie, which brings to life the world's most famous fashion doll, is on the short list of expectations." 


"Barbie has attracted more than 100 such partners, from custom pink Crocs to a Prada clothing line, hair dryers, and everything in between. Merchants and brands rushed to cash in on Barbie mania, while companies including Progressive Insurance and General Motors used Barbie in custom TV and digital advertisements. All told, these partnerships are worth at least $70 million to Warner Bros. and toymaker Mattel, home of Barbie. And the value of the film's publicity is immeasurable, from local TV news spots to features in Architectural Digest and The New Yorker. Stories about Barbie have become ubiquitous."

    

  The advertising for the Barbie movie is the best I have seen in a long time. The hype was coming, and everyone couldn't wait to get into theaters to see this film. I can't imagine the time and money spent advertising this film, but every penny was worth it. Some fans were very disappointed with the movie's outcome after it was all said and done, but that doesn't mean the advertising didn't do its job.
