#PAWatWalmart Influencer Marketing Campaign

HireInfluence, Inc partnered with Nick Jr. to launch the #PAWatWalmart influencer marketing campaign. The brand was looking to engage key influencers in target demographics to help promote the launch of the PAW Patrol Ready, Race, Rescue DVD, toys, and merchandise only available at Walmart.

The campaign featured a “Race Across America” themed tour of influencers whose families all participated in a “mission” delivered by the PAW Patrol Pups! Influencers worked together with their families to execute their mission/ good deed and showed their audiences how they received a well-deserved reward – the brand new PAW Patrol Ready, Race, Rescue DVD, toys, and apparel!

The layout of influencers and the way they shared their journey to the end of the tour kept the audience engaged and excited to see what was coming next! Adding in each objective within the strategy made for a very successful campaign that more than showed within campaign results and ROI. Continue reading as we walk through some influencer key results and the influencers behind them.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the campaign performed exceedingly well with impressions and reached top-performing tiers. Influencer marketing holds many progressive benefits that outweigh data alone, however, these figures are incredibly impressive and show a high interest in the PAW Patrol brand. The content creators did an amazing job showcasing the missions and products and bringing together a sense of family excitement for the launch through authentic content they produced. Not only do you see this within the reach and engagement but also in the sentiment of each post that directly correlated with an increase of PAW Patrol sales. 

The highly successful campaign delivered nearly 10 million impressions and 580K+ engagements as well as gave Walmart an ownable program that helped to capture 84% of PAW Patrol business during this timeframe and drove a 16% increase of core PAW Patrol sales.
