Ice Age Promo in Lidl
20th Century Fox Consumer Products and Lidl announced a comprehensive promotion across Europe surrounding Ice Age: Collision Course. The film will have a significant presence in Lidl stores as the global retailer launches a wide range of more than 90 products from Ice Age DVDs to apparel and publishing in its 10,000 stores across 29 European countries.
The campaign began this week in advance of the upcoming opening of Ice Age: Collision Course. In several countries, the 360-degree activation will include TV advertisements as well as support in print, in-store, circulars, social, and digital media. Additional markets will offer free Ice Age movie posters as well as host competitions to win tickets either in store or on social media.
This will be Lidl’s largest licensing program with Fox to date, with key markets also running multiple retail loyalty programs at the same time. These markets will offer free stickers for an Ice Age collector’s album containing games and puzzles. A second loyalty program will offer Ice Age plush toys in exchange for collected points, which customers will receive for an amount spent at Lidl.
The film opened July 1 in the UK. It is opening now and into August across Europe. It will open on July 22 in the U.S.
