Sony partnering with Disney Parks in a co-branded

marketing campaign

Update : 17:49 Published by François Mayné the 15 April 2012, Corporate.

Sony Electronics announced it has teamed up with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts to promote its latest line of Handycam® camcorders in a new integrated marketing campaign that focuses on capturing and sharing family memories.

The "Share Magical Memories" co-branded campaign kicks off with a unique online contest and dedicated website hosted by Disney Interactive at www.disney.com/memories, where guests can submit a written entry about a special someone in their life, a family member, friend or educator, who has helped create a lasting memory. A panel of judges will review the stories about the special memory makers and select five grand prize winners. Each grand prize winner will receive a vacation for themselves and three guests, plus a vacation for their memory makers and three guests to Walt Disney World Resort. The winning families will also receive a Sony® HDR-PJ260V projector camcorder to document new memories before, during, and after their experience at Disney Parks.

There will also be a weekly sweepstakes on disney.com/memories where guests can enter daily on the site or text "SONY" to DISNEY (347639) on their mobile devices, for a chance to win prizes such as a $200 Disney gift card and a Sony HDR-PJ260V camcorder. One winner will be awarded per week.

"Sony is thrilled to be working with Disney Parks to promote its new line of Handycam camcorders," said Hidenori Toyoda, director of the camcorder business at Sony Electronics. "It's a perfect fit - they create magical memories for families and we make the products to capture and share those memories."

Sony partnering with Disney Parks in a co-branded marketing campaign

To support the campaign, a series of custom videos showcasing the new camcorders will be produced and featured on the website and in retail stores. Some videos will be more educational and showcase the benefits of Handycam camcorder features. Videos will also be recorded at the Disney Parks capturing guest's favorite Disney memories along with beloved Disney characters. In addition to the video series, the campaign will also be promoted through Sony and Disney's various social media channels.

"We are equally delighted to be working with Sony on this program," said Scott Cassidy, senior vice president, Disney Global Alliance Marketing. "Their newest line of Handycam camcorders clearly takes the idea of capturing and preserving great Disney Parks memories to a whole new level."

The "Share Magical Memories" campaign will also have a strong presence at Sony Stores and select electronics retailers nationwide. As part of the campaign, Sony and Disney will offer a Gift with Purchase program where consumers can purchase Sony HD Handycam camcorders and receive an exclusive, limited-edition Disney item from May 14 through Sept. 30. Additionally, a specially designed experience for mobile phones will feature video and images, as well as allow consumers to enter the contest or sweepstakes.
