Cartoon Care
Personal care brands are partnering with cartoons to boost product adoption
Trend - Self-care brands are partnering with popular cartoon properties to increase the appeal of their products with younger consumers. The collaboration also functions as advertising for the cartoon brand, leading to a mutually-beneficial partnership.

Insight - Young children are often disinterested by personal care. Certain children do not enjoy bath time, and do not yet understand the importance of brushing their teeth or washing their face. Parents of these children seek ways to make personal care more engaging and fun for their kids in order to build good habits early. One such method these parents seek out is co-branding, searching for products with branding familiar to their kids, leading to personal care brands partnering with cartoons.
Workshop Question - How can we leverage popular cultural elements to make our products more appealing to younger audiences?
