Nickelodeon Brazil to Launch 'Mundo Nick' Retail Activation at Shopping ABC in November 2019

Following the success of the Nickelodeon Slime Factory interactive retail activation that has been touring shopping centers across Brazil throughout the year, Nickelodeon Brazil (Brasil) is once again partnering with interactive activations specialist 2a1 Cenografia to launch a brand-new Nickelodeon-themed retail activation for the Christmas holidays!


Each year, shopping malls invest in a variety of innovative attractions to entice the public and win over children. For this reason, Shopping ABC shopping centre in Santo André in ABC Paulista will host the very first "Mundo Nick" ("Nick World") experience!

Designed and developed by 2a1 Cenografia, "Mundo Nick" will feature some of Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.'s most beloved characters, including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, SpongeBob SquarePants and his BFF Patrick Star, Dora the Explorer, Nella the Princess Knight and her unicorn sidekick Trinket, Rusty Rivets and the Top Wing team.

The Christmas attraction will open at Shopping ABC on Saturday 9th November 2019. Admission to the attraction will be free.

"We created the concept and scenery exclusively from scratch. Mundo Nick is designed to entertain the children and transform Christmas into a special moment, with the characters loved by the children, generating interest in families to stimulate the year-end programming," says said Caio Paulino, diretor de Marketing da 2a1 Cenografia.

"Mundo Nick" will have a giant, interactive and very entertaining attractions. It's impossible to talk about Nickelodeon without talking about slime. And, therefore, "Mundo Nick" will feature the large pipes of the slime factory that represent the Nickelodeon universe very well.

Nickelodeon and Groupo Chespirito Collaborate in Latin America

Over the past twenty years, SpongeBob SquarePants has become one of the most well-known and recognised characters in the world. In Latin America, SpongeBob (Bob Esponja) has 85% awareness and is one of the Top 3 most popular characters amongst kids ages 4-11.



In order to celebrate SpongeBob SquarePants 20th anniversary, Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products (NVCP) Mexico decided to bring three of the most iconic brands together. Reinforcing the great positioning and emotional connection that these beloved characters have with all generations.

Bob-Esponja-Groupo-Chespirito-Collaboration-Nickelodeon-and-Viacom-Consumer-Products-Mexico-NVCP-SpongeBob-SquarePants-Nick-SBSP

El Chavo del Ocho and El Chapulin Colorado and live-action television series that started airing in the 1970s and have enjoyed almost 50 years of Latin American broadcasting.


In fact, the series have aired in 124 countries around the world and with daily worldwide viewership averaging 91 million viewers per episode. In 2006 the animated version of the series launched in Latin America.

Nickelodeon & Viacom recognised that the three iconic brands had a large number of similarities which would make them idea for a collaboration.

All three properties were multi-target - they have been in the market for a long time and can speak to the target age of children aged four to eleven, as well as to adults and families.

All three properties evoke an emotional connection with the characters, as well as engagement and they bring out feelings and memories. Essentially, they are timeless intellectual properties (IPs).


For the collaboration, Nickelodeon & Viacom created a brand which represented all three iconic properties.

The collaboration will be announced in July this year and products will begin hitting shelves this Fall, continuing for a full year. The merchandise programme will include a wide range of product categories including apparel, collectibles, accessories and more as well as a marketing campaign and various promotions.

Deep down in the city of Bikini Bottom lives a square yellow sea sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants. Living in a pineapple with his pet snail Gary, SpongeBob loves his job as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab and has a knack for getting into trouble without really trying.

PAW Patrol Makes Special Appearance at Beacon Children's Hospital in South Bend, Indiana

South Bend, Indiana - The PAW Patrol made an appearance at Beacon Children's Hospital on Tuesday (November 26, 2019) afternoon! They’re part of Paw Patrol Live!, a touring Broadway-style live musical adventure based on Nickelodeon's beloved CG-animated series PAW Patrol.


The character Ryder hung out with some of the kids for about an hour.

Members of Paw Patrol Live were also there to read a book to children and spend some time at the hospital ahead of their shows at the Morris Performing Arts Center this week.

The cast has shows on Tuesday at 6 p.m. as well as Wednesday at 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.

The groups says appearances like these reach out to kids who may not be able to make it to their shows.

"I love putting smiles on kids’ faces. I've been doing children's entertainment for a few years now. It’s really become like a passion of mine, I love bringing joy to kids, and it’s really important to do things like this, where kids might not be able to come because of certain limitations,” Jeff Dietzel, a spokesperson for Paw Patrol Live, told WNDU.

Some of the kids at the hospital weren’t able to leave their rooms to meet Ryder, but they could watch on the TVs in their rooms.

Viacom Launches Its First Branded DTC Online Shops

Ecommerce and pop-up shops for SpongeBob and MTV are part of larger direct-to-consumer effort

For anyone considering SpongeBob SquarePants merchandise and MTV sweatshirts as a holiday gift idea, Viacom is now giving consumers an option to buy exclusive products directly from the company.

Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Products (VNCP), which oversees retail and merchandising for Viacom, has launched its first branded online shops as part of the entertainment company’s new direct-to-consumer efforts. Andrea Fasulo, svp of retail marketing for VNCP, said the company launched the websites to provide an alternative channel to reach its diverse fanbase, and highlight Viacom’s portfolio.

“The idea was to create homes where fans can find curated collections of products that are different from what you might find in traditional retail,” said Fasulo. “We want to create sites that serve these fans and provide us with [further] insight on types of products they want to see.”


SpongeBobshop.com includes holiday-themed items. Viacom/Nickelodeon

The websites sell items that include personalized and print-on-demand apparel, home goods and accessories. The SpongeBob site, which launched this past summer, includes products tied to the show’s 20th anniversary and the holidays. The MTV shop, which launched earlier this month, offers clothes and accessories themed around the network and shows such like Wild ‘N Out. There are also plans to include apparel themed around The Challenge, Catfish and Daria.

Limited-edition design collaborations are another feature of the ecommerce venture. For example, the SpongeBob shop currently sells products with a design from visual artist Louis De Guzman and musician J Balvin. Fasulo said selling these collaborations exclusively on the sites is a new strategy for Viacom to introduce fresh takes on older franchises and expose them to new audiences.

The initiative also includes a brick-and-mortar pop-up shop. Viacom opened the first Nickelodeon Holiday Shop earlier this month at Westfield Century City in Los Angeles. Open through Dec. 31, the shop sells SpongeBob items, as well as products from franchises like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Nickelodeon Slime—including a slime-making kit.

With the shortest holiday shopping season since 2013, Fasulo explained that opening a physical store provides an opportunity for the company to drive as much business during the holidays as it can. “This was the right time to launch the Nickelodeon pop-up so we could test new products and create buzz. We can tell our brand story to consumers as they shop,” she said.

To oversee the DTC program, Viacom has also appointed Aaron Cunningham as vice president of direct-to-consumer. Cunningham—who has 13-year background helming ecommerce for retailers such as Walmart and Goodbaby International—will lead product sourcing and merchandising for each website, along with marketing, user acquisition and developing VNCP’s future slate of sites and pop-up shops.

SpongeBobshop.com and MTVshop.com are the first of a group of online shops to sell products tied to Viacom brands and characters. Fasulo couldn’t divulge which shows, characters or networks will get their own site next—there could be more options as Viacom and CBS are set to finalize a merger—but noted the company is monitoring which fan bases are creating asks on social for insight.

And with the number of Americans buying DTC is expected to grow nearly 20 percent in the next five years, Fasulo also stressed that the program is a growing distribution channel for fans.

“The DTC model allows greater adaptability for us when it comes to fulfilling the needs of our fans,” said Fasulo. “It’s incredibly valuable to have this direct line of communication with fans.”
