Simba Smoby Toys has announced a year-round partnership with celebrity couple Sarah and Aston Merrygold which will see the family post content across all its social channels through 2024.
The 5-stage activity kicked off this week on Instagram with collaborative reels and stories showing the couple’s boys Grayson and Macaulay having fun at home with the Smoby Garden Playhouse. Despite the difficult spring weather, a break in the rain allowed for a fun time for the boys and dad, Aston, who at the end of the video had to be told to leave the playhouse! https://www.instagram.com/p/C6CMy4Rooon/
“From the start of the year we have been planning this partnership with the Merrygolds as they fit the core family values for the brand perfectly”
Sophie Bryan, Smoby brand manager
More activity is planned through the summer for the brands outdoor toys, including a YouTube video next month for the new Smoby Activity wall. Later in the year, the family will take the activity indoors with some of the brand’s best loved role play items.
Speaking of the partnership Sophie Bryan, Smoby brand manager said. “From the start of the year we have been planning this partnership with the Merrygolds as they fit the core family values for the brand perfectly. We are delighted with the first stage of the activity and humorous spin that Sarah and Aston added to the storyline.
“This key piece of celebrity content is just a small part of what is in store for the brand this year to support our retail partners. Our return to the Gloworm Festival in August will be bigger and better than ever, and throughout the year we have influencer content and social media drives taking place. Added to this our above-the-line advertising across TV, VOD and ads across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok will ensure high impact awareness when we need it most.”
