Pass the Marshmallows: Spin Master Ltd. is Going to Summer Camp
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) June 17, 2014 -- Spin Master Ltd., Canada’s largest children’s toy and entertainment company, is pleased to announce a first of its kind, comprehensive marketing partnership with Youth Venture Marketing, LLC and the American Camp Association.
This landmark agreement will see Spin Master’s award winning products integrated into over 135 camp programs across the United States with over 140,000 direct camper interactions. Spin Master products will ship out to ACA-Accredited Camps in June, and programs will run through August 2014. Campers of all ages will have the opportunity to interact with top Spin Master brands: DigiBirds, IONIX, Kinetic Sand, Meccano, Sew Cool, and Wackytivities.
“This is an incredibly unique and fun opportunity — exactly the type of partnership we look for at Spin Master. This program will allow us to interact with campers throughout the summer, enhancing the camp experience for thousands of kids,” explains Krista DiBerardino, Spin Master’s Chief Marketing Officer. “We can’t wait for the program to launch and look forward to meeting and surprising everyone at camp this summer!”
“We are very pleased to be able to partner with Youth Venture Marketing and Spin Master. This unique partnership offers many benefits including support of ACA programs that reinforce positive camp experiences. Don’t underrate the value of play. Play is a part of life and work readiness. Consider it a necessity, not a luxury,” said Peg Smith, ACA’s chief executive officer.
Through integrating construction toys and activity-based play into regular camp activities, the program supports educational and developmental aspects of camp with fun and engaging products that kids will come back to again and again.
