The Best Barbie Partnerships

This Barbie is an influencer! 

Chances are, you’ve probably noticed a lot of pink marketing lately. That’s because with the release of the new Barbie movie, Mattel and Warner Brothers have launched the marketing campaign of the summer, with even Burger King launching a pink burger for a limited amount of time.

According to public copyright records, there has been an increase of over 2,000 registrations for dolls, games, songs, and more for Barbie. 

Influencers are the lifeblood of these campaigns and have helped push this marketing strategy to the next level. 

So what have been the best Barbie sponsorships so far?

This Malibu mansion is allowing influencers to spend the night in the pinkest house in the neighborhood. 

In this EliteDaily TikTok, the brand tours the house and shows off some of the most luxurious amenities of the house, including a waterslide, a pool, outdoor lounge, and more. The experience was free of charge, allowing influencers to experience Barbie and Ken’s life up close and personal.

Lauren Godwin was one of the most popular influencers to visit the Malibu Barbie Dreamhouse. Godwin has over 22 million followers on TikTok and a combination of 2 billion likes.

In her TikTok video exploring the house, Godwin explains how “bougie” Barbie and Ken are in the one-bedroom estate. 

This sponsorship not only brought mass attention to the Airbnb brand, (which has been under fire recently as more and more people are choosing to forego Airbnb in exchange for hotels or independent holiday rentals), but 

  1. NYX Barbie Collection

NYX is an American cosmetics company and is one of the most popular makeup brands across the globe. NYX is no stranger to collaborations and special collections, so the Barbie partnership was a no-brainer.

Several of the Barbie campaign videos on NYX’s Instagram have over 300,000 views, with some even reaching to over a million views. 

One of the best parts of NYX’s Barbie campaign is that they reached out to smaller makeup artists and micro-influencers to show off their products. 

Not only does this show that their makeup is affordable and accessible to everyone, but NYX proves that you can have high-quality products that both celebrities and non-influencers will enjoy.

NYX even participated in a project with Save The Children, a nonprofit organization that helps children around the world in multiple humanitarian causes.
