It’s a big spring for Masha and the Bear across Europe and beyond.
Animaccord, the global rights holder for the hit family series, partnered with UK toy retailer, The Entertainer, for a spring retail campaign that extends beyond Easter. The promotion features Masha and the Bear display stands and security gate covers in more than 150 stores through April 24. Masha and the Bear fans can interact with their favorite characters at interactive meet-and-greet events in select locations across the country.
“Masha & the Bear is a well-loved property with some great content that children enjoy,” says Rebecca Naish, head of marketing and licensing at The Entertainer. “Animaccord have been a great partner over the last couple of years and we are excited to be working together to bring Masha & the Bear to life in-store and online again this Easter.”
