Strawberry Shortcake: new experiential activations and licensing collaborations
WildBrain Ltd. is continuing to expand the global reach of Strawberry Shortcake through a range of new experiential activations, partnerships, and licensing initiatives. As part of its broader 360-degree franchise strategy, the company is focusing on increasing fan engagement by combining live experiences, retail collaborations, and consumer products with ongoing content development.
Activations and collaborations
One of the major activations includes a collaboration with FAO Schwarz, where Strawberry Shortcake will be featured in a themed pop-up experience and storefront takeover designed to immerse fans in the colorful world of Strawberryland. WildBrain is also bringing the franchise to events such as the CAKE PICNIC festival in San Diego, which will include a large Strawberryland-inspired cake installation celebrating the brand’s playful identity.
Expanding presence internationally
In addition, the company is expanding its presence internationally through activations in Mexico City, including participation in the FYJA flower festival and a Mother’s Day-themed shopping mall tour. Alongside these experiences, WildBrain has signed several new licensing agreements across fashion, accessories, and lifestyle categories with brands including Crocs, Birdie Bean, KT by Knix, and Earth Breeze.
Through these initiatives, WildBrain aims to strengthen Strawberry Shortcake’s international appeal and connect with both nostalgic older audiences and a new generation of fans.
