Mattel's massive 'Barbie' movie marketing blitz engulfs world in pink, attracting fans and concerns

  • Mattel has created a marketing campaign with over 100 brands for the "Barbie" movie release, flooding the world with pink products and promotions.
  • The campaign includes special Barbie dolls, brand collaborations across industries, pink-themed products, and unofficial "Barbiefied" options.
  • Barbie sales have been strong, with the movie-specific Barbie currently the top-selling doll on Amazon.
  • While some experts believe the marketing benefits Barbie, others fear an oversaturation of pink that drowns out individual products.
