Objective

campaign goal

To mark the 90th anniversary, Schleich presented itself at the toy fair in Nuremberg with a special highlight: an emotional photo activation that invited visitors both locally and digitally to dive into the world of imagination. Together with MINTANO, a hybrid solution was created that perfectly combined tradition and modernity, exhibition experience and digital scaling.

OneVirtual: Imagination has no limits

Parallel to the trade fair, the virtual photo box made OneVirtual from MINTANO digital participation — ideal for employees, international partners and customers who could not be there. The online extension provided additional reach and visibility.

Benefits of digital participation:
Access via smartphone or desktop — available worldwide
Branding & design diversity identical to the onsite version
No effort for the Schleich team — 100% automated

Content route: Unicorn riding & mammoth encounter with BrandAI

At the heart of the campaign was the creative Image presentation via the BrandAI feature by MINTANO. Participants were visually integrated into the world of Schleich — as riders on a unicorn or side by side with a mammoth, two of the brand's most popular characters.

The process in 3 steps:
CI-compliant content that combines cutting-edge AI technology with campaign motifs
Automatic branding through overlays in Schleich CI
Emotional, imaginative content with high share potential

Easy participation with pre-download form
Opt-in for newsletters or further contact
Optional integration with CRM tools
