Bratz stormed onto the scene in 2001, not just as dolls, but as cultural icons. Renowned for their "Passion for Fashion" and diverse representation, Yasmin, Cloe, Jade, and Sasha defied fashion norms and resonated with a generation. They embraced individuality, rocked bold looks, and redefined what it meant to be a powerful young woman.

Bratz shattered the mold. They weren't just another set of blonde-haired dolls. These dolls represented a wider world, with features and styles that resonated with girls of color and those who felt excluded from mainstream beauty standards.

Yet, Bratz faces a hurdle: staying culturally relevant in a rapidly changing world. The challenge is to navigate past controversies and legal issues while recapturing the hearts (and wardrobes) of Gen Z and Millennials.

The 'Build Your Own Bratz Doll Experience' caters to fashion-conscious individuals and doll collectors of all genders. This campaign gives you the power to create a Bratz that's uniquely you (or your best friend, your mother, your boyfriend, your favorite popstar...)

The four main Bratz dolls released in 2001

Their universe is built up, through live action, video games, animated series etc.

The campaign strategy involves teasing new dolls on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram to showcase the distinctive experience.

Store Layout and Map

The physical store design replicates Stilesville, the fictional Bratz hometown. A tablet-based store map guides visitors, featuring photo locations and interactive elements.

Sections like the Beauty Studio and Hair & Makeup areas enable customization of skin tone, makeup, and hairstyles, featuring diverse options. Picture-perfect Bratz Houses serve as photo spots with themed backdrops, and a vast Shopping Mall offers thousands of outfit combinations, some from celebrity collaborations. A “Match with Me” collection can allow customers to own the same outfits as their dolls.
