Leading entertainment and
lifestyle retailer, HSN HSNI oday announced a multi-film marketing collaboration
with Disney DIS Studios for three highly anticipated films, Maleficent, Cinderella
and The Hundred-Foot Journey. The three-film collaboration with HSN spanning
two years marks the first time that Disney Studios has enlisted an
omni-channel retailer for a comprehensive long-term entertainment marketing
alliance. HSN brings the spirit of these movies to life through bold,
imaginative products from top designers and brands.
In advance of the release of each film, HSN will create content driven retail
events across all platforms: TV, online, social and mobile. These innovative
shopping experiences will feature exclusive, curated assortments of products
from HSN's fashion, jewelry, beauty and home categories that are inspired by
or reminiscent of each of the three films. The first HSN event will take place
during the days leading up to the May 30, 2014 release of Maleficent, followed
by similar events for The Hundred-Foot Journey in August of 2014 and
Cinderella in the spring of 2015.
"This long-term collaboration is a testament to the success of our
entertainment integration strategy that infuses fun and drives heightened
engagement across all of our shopping platforms while driving awareness for
our marketing collaborators," said Bill Brand, Chief Marketing and Business
Development Officer for HSN, Inc. "We're thrilled to expand our alliance with
a world-class brand such as Disney to continually reinvent and reenergize
shopping through interactive content and storytelling that captures the spirit
of their films."
"HSN curates wonderful collections that speak to the essence of the story and
build a real event around the release of our films," said Don Gross, vice
president, global promotions, The Walt Disney Studios. "We're excited to
collaborate with them again and expand upon these engaging worlds, beginning
with Maleficent."
HSN's 24-hour programming event for Maleficent launches on May 27, 2014,
precluded by a special preview of the collection on HSN.com starting May 7.
The collection will feature jewelry, fashion and beauty products from some of
HSN's top designers, including licensed products from Naeem Khan, Heidi Daus
and Amika and additional collections from Giuliana Rancic, R.J. Graziano, Liz
Lange, Jean Dousset, Margaret Rowe, Raven Kaufman, and Diane Gilman. Leading
brands such as N by Natori, Clever Carriage, and others will also be a part of
the collection as well. Following the May 27 event, HSN will air an exciting
series of "Countdown to Maleficent" primetime specials across all of its
platforms – TV, online, mobile – May 28 through May 30, 2014.
This initiative follows the successful results of HSN and Disney's earlier
film collaborations for The Help in 2010 and last year's Oz The Great and
Powerful. HSN's collaboration with Oz The Great and Powerful featured
approximately 400 products from 50 brands and resulted in the best sales of
any HSN movie event to date with more than 100 product sell-outs.
Shop the Maleficent collection on HSN.com starting May 7, 2014. For more
