Wonder Woman 1984 Promotions Continue Despite Delayed Opening

Most blockbusters have delayed their openings until the fall, but that hasn’t stopped movies like the much anticipated Wonder Woman 1984 from kicking off promotional campaigns and activations to keep fans ready and waiting for the day when it’s safe to go to the movies again. Partnerships and original content can help brands build anticipation for big events, like the return of Diana Prince in Wonder Woman 1984.

SweeTARTS And Wonder Woman Partner On Instagram Promotion

Instagram users can win a limited edition Wonder Woman holster by tagging a friend on Instagram as part of the recently launched Wonder Woman 1984/SweeTARTS Golden Ropes partnership. The new limited edition SweeTARTS candy is reminiscent of Wonder Woman’s lasso, and Wonder Woman herself graces the packaging. 

“This partnership is a great fit because SweeTARTS stands for being more than one thing: sweet and tart, long and short, soft and chewy. Wonder Woman embodies that same idea of duality with her strength and wisdom, power and justice, and courage and truth,” said Ashley Incarnato, Senior Brand Manager for SweeTARTS. “Our ‘Golden Ropes Holder’ is more than just one thing, too! It is a candy dispenser and a collectible for Wonder Woman fans.” Promotional campaigns on Instagram can be effective with Gen Z audiences, particularly with simple calls to action, like tagging a friend. 

The American Red Cross Encourages Blood Donation And App Downloads With Wonder Woman 1984 Promotional Tie-In

In an effort to encourage more people to donate blood, the American Red Cross is automatically enrolling donors in a contest to win prop replicas of a golden lasso and gauntlets like those in Wonder Woman 1984. The partnership comes at a time when blood donations are down because of coronavirus, and when brands are making increased efforts to undertake social responsibility initiatives that consumers are responsive too. 

Additionally, the American Red Cross is trying to promote app downloads of its Red Cross Blood Donor App. The app makes it easier for donors to expedite the check-in procedures at donation centers. “In times of crisis, new superheroes often emerge, and new alliances are forged. The Red Cross is thrilled to partner with Wonder Woman 1984 to encourage and thank fans and blood donors alike for being superheroes for patients in need by giving blood in July,” said Paul Sullivan, Senior Vice President of the American Red Cross Biomedical Services.
