"Our strategy was to secure promotional programs to ensure an ongoing, year-round marketplace presence for Mattel Games through mass media, on-pack, retail, print, radio and social media efforts," stated Erin Corbett, Senior Vice President, Strategic Marketing & Branded Entertainment, Allied Integrated Marketing.

She continued: "At the same time, we focused on clever regional marketplace approaches by teaming with partners who share similar personalities with Mattel Games."

In the latter category, partners include Edible Arrangements, which offers a fresh fruit bouquet for every occasion, and frozen dessert chain Tasti D-Lite.

"These alliances speak volumes about how Mattel's family of best-selling brands is truly a fit with consumers of all ages and interests. We look forward to announcing additional promotional programs for Mattel Games with leading national brands in the very near future, as well as product placement deals," Erin Corbett added.
