Muppets Haunted Mansion

The Challenge -The Muppets are a beloved and iconic franchise, but there was an opportunity to engage both new audiences and long-time fans with fresh and exciting content. Muppets Haunted Mansion needed to bring the signature Muppet humor and heart to a Halloween-themed special while introducing new elements to keep the brand relevant and engaging.

The Insight – The goal was to create a marketing campaign that captured the spooky fun of the special and resonated with viewers across all segments, including families, nostalgia-driven adults, and new audiences. Our strategic approach blended humor, celebrity cameos, and festive Halloween excitement to ensure the special stood out on Disney+ and became a seasonal favorite.

The Solution – As Head of Marketing, I developed and executed a comprehensive marketing strategy for Muppets Haunted Mansion. This included shaping the film’s creative vision, planning high-profile launch events, and organizing a star-studded premiere that generated buzz and excitement. We engaged press outlets like Variety, Entertainment Weekly, and USA Today to highlight the special’s blend of humor and heart, and coordinated social media activations to amplify fan engagement. The campaign also emphasized new music and the special’s family-friendly appeal.

The ImpactMuppets Haunted Mansion achieved over 10 million views in its first week on Disney+, earning widespread acclaim. The high-profile premiere and extensive press coverage amplified the film’s reach, while social media lit up with conversations about the Muppets’ delightful return. The special reignited interest in the franchise, driving a 25% increase in Muppets-related merchandise sales. The project not only solidified the Muppets’ legacy as a timeless family entertainment brand but also introduced a new Halloween tradition that celebrates creativity, humor, and festive fun for all ages.
