It's now Barbie's turn to enter the mobile arena. Mattel Toys
India and Rajshri Media Pvt. Ltd, producer of content for
broadband and the wireless telecom mediums, entered into a
partnership to present Barbie's debut into mobile content
with her sixth property Barbie and The Magic of Pegasus.
Taking
cue from the growing trend of reaching out to consumers through
customised mobile content, the two companies joined hands
to capitalise the kids segment through this fairly nascent,
though unique medium of 'Experiential Brand building with
the Consumer.'
Barbie
& the Magic of Pegasus mobile content will be available
in various formats - SMS tones, ring tones (in polytones,
mono-tones, true tones and video tones) and ring back tones
(polytones, monotones and true tones). One can also download
Barbie wallpapers, screensaver and watch her latest video
- 'Hope has wings'.
These
will be distributed through cellular operators like Hutch,
Idea, MTNL, BSNL, Tata, Spice, Indiatimes and Mauj.
Speaking
on this initiative Rajshri Media Private executive director
Rajjat Barjatya said, "With 65 million mobile subscribers
in India growing at an astonishing pace of three million as
month, the mobile phone is fast becoming a very important
touch point with consumers. The mobile phone is a communication,
entertainment and lifestyle device, all rolled into one."
Mattel
Toys India MD Sanjay Luthra said, "Barbie and the Magic
of Pegasus was one of the biggest Barbie launches this year.
The movie launch had many firsts like a Hindi music video
to support the same, product to support the movie that included
a range of dolls and toys, movie VCD/DVD, publishing, sleepwear
and now mobile content that little girls can access."
Barbie
and The Magic of Pegasus took innovation to a new height with
it's adaptation of the English music video "Hope Has
Wings" in Hindi, sung by Saregama's upcoming artiste
Akriti.
