Rubies and Disney Collaborate for Star Wars

Rubies has announced it is collaborating with long-term licensors Star Wars™ and Disney to bring into the spotlight a brand-new media and PR campaign, titled ‘The Gift of Play’.

Gift of Play is a new campaign hosted on a dedicated website [disneythegiftofplay.co.uk], which is entrenched in Disney’s nearly 100-year legacy of creative storytelling, to encourage adults and children to have more shared imaginative playtime together.

The campaign, which will see a takeover of Rubies social channels and website, has the aim of getting people inspired through unique and engaging Star Wars™ content and excited for the upcoming releases on Disney+, as well as encouraging consumers to enjoy gifting toys and costumes as a means to play and bond.

To explore the power of the Force, the campaign will see entirely new media created for Rubies social media as well as a strong influencer and press marketing campaigns and retail takeovers.

Rubies Star Wars™ range in support of The Gift of Play with specially selected costumes include The Mandalorian™, Boba Fett™, Deluxe Darth Vader™, Grogu™, Poe X-Wing Fighter, Rey and even an inflatable Jabba the Hutt, with the majority available in both children’s and adults’ sizes so the whole family can have some Star Wars™ themed fun.

Fran Hales, Head of Content and Marketing, “We are thrilled to be part of The Gift of Play, working closely with Lucasfilm and Disney on their innovative and exhilarating marketing campaign. The Gift of Play campaign is an opportunity to not just showcase our products but also to promote dress-up as a key part of Disney’s legacy for creative storytelling, while immersing both adults and children into the shared world of imaginative playtime together.”

Star Wars™ inspired costumes by Rubies are available to order now on rubiesuk.com. Stay tuned on Rubies official social media channels to see the intergalactic takeover soon- @rubiesuk on Facebook and @rubies_uk on Instagram.
