📌WEEKLY MUST-KNOWS

Pampers launched “Behind Every Baby” with a 60-second NFL kickoff spot and a social-first push, signaling a shift from product-forward diaper ads to cinematic, emotion-led storytelling. The platform spans creator partnerships and TikTok activations to reach millennial and older Gen Z parents. Expect budget reallocation toward creators and community content to build upper-funnel reach and long-term brand affinity.

Honest unveiled the first Disney-branded baby skincare collaboration, putting Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh on its core bath and body SKUs. The play marries clean-ingredient credibility with collectible packaging to recruit Disney households and boost shelf differentiation.

NUK partnered with early childhood educator Ms. Rachel to debut spill-proof learner cups, live at Target now, with Amazon later this month and Walmart in November. The collab blends product design with trusted developmental cues and provides a high-credibility creator to drive discovery and retail sell-through.
