Nickelodeon's PAW Patrol Heads Into Visionworks To Help Promote Back-To-School Eye Exams
Program to include Co-Branded Video Featuring TV Land's The Texting Yoga Pants and PAW Patrol Pups
SAN ANTONIO, June 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- This summer, Visionworks is embarking on a multi-faceted partnership with Viacom's Nickelodeon and TV Land brands on a nationwide program that features characters from TV's top preschool series, PAW Patrol, and TV Land social influencers, The Texting Yoga Pants moms. Through September 3, the promotion aims to encourage parents to make an eye exam part of their back-to-school checklist.
At participating locations, Visionworks is offering children who have completed their annual eye exam a free gift, which includes a PAW Patrol activity sheet, crayons, stickers and a character mask, while supplies last. In addition, the eyewear retailer is unveiling its first-ever kids' line of PAW Patrol frames designed and distributed by Nouveau Eyewear exclusively for back-to-school '17, available online and at participating retail locations nationwide, beginning this July.
"We're passionate about offering our youngest customers a positive experience at the eye doctor," said Jim Eisen, President and CEO of HVHC Inc., and President of Visionworks. "Showing kids that an eye exam isn't scary was top-of-mind for us when we teamed up with Nickelodeon. It's exciting to put the spotlight on the issue of eye health for kids in such a lighthearted and engaging way!"
"We are thrilled to embark on a partnership with Visionworks to educate families about the importance of annual eye exams," said Sharon Cohen, Executive Vice President, Partner Marketing, Nickelodeon Group. "The PAW Patrol pups can-do attitude makes them the perfect ambassadors to introduce kids to the eye exams, making the process fun and engaging, while instilling confidence in their frame choices."
The partnership will be supported across Nickelodeon, and TV Land's platforms, including linear, digital and social. The custom co-branded spot featuring The Texting Yoga Pants and the PAW Patrol pups will air across Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and TV Land, with additional video content available on Nick.com and TVLand.com.
"TV Land is excited to extend the Texting Yoga Pants franchise to Nickelodeon to support a partnership with a cause," added Eli Litt, Vice President, Integrated Marketing, Viacom Velocity. "We're excited to have these talented and relatable moms lend their unique voice to the campaign."
The pups from PAW Patrol will be touting the importance of a back-to-school eye exam at Visionworks from June through September 3.
