The Patrick Star Show — web AR launch activation

A multichannel launch campaign anchored by a first-of-its-kind interactive web-AR experience, designed to generate awareness and buzz for the series premiere of Nickelodeon's first new SpongeBob Universe spinoff.

THE CHALLENGE

Launch a spinoff character audiences already loved — but in a franchise context that made the new show feel distinct. The summer window offered a unique opportunity to reach families in-person and online, but the campaign needed a memorable, shareable anchor beyond standard linear promotion.

MY ROLE & APPROACH

As marketing manager, I developed the campaign strategy and oversaw the creation of an interactive web-AR experience that blurred the line between the real world and Patrick's world — no app download required. The multi-channel approach surrounded the AR experience with social, digital, and on-the-ground activations to drive discovery and repeat engagement throughout the premiere month of July 2021.
