The Queen of Preschool for 20 Years Preschoolers around the world have been welcoming PEPPA PIG into their lives for the last 20 years. The brand has captured the hearts and minds of each new generation and continues to inspire confidence in children.

“The brand has been lovingly built over 20 years, and we feel very proud to now have it as part of the Hasbro stable,” says Kristin McKay, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Global Brands, Fashion & Preschool at Hasbro.

“Peppa is so well-known and loved around the world and even in such rapidly changing times, PEPPA PIG can always adapt and remain relevant to today’s preschoolers.”

Something for the littlest piggies

Grow With Peppa is a brand extension targeted at the infant segment of 0-2 years, younger than Peppa’s usual demographic of 2-5 year-olds. The creative is distinct from the core PEPPA PIG design, with a gentler colour palette and a softer art style. It has been developed to appeal to parents of newborns and babies, across categories such as nappies, wipes, baby food and more.

McKay comments: “There is very much an appetite from partners to bring Peppa into new and exciting experiences and we do not see that letting up as long as we continue to create content and market the brand.”

And as YouTube has become the most important platform for the preschool audience, Peppa took the platform by storm. With a dedicated YouTube series, Peppa Pig Tales, launching in 2022 across multiple markets, the growth in the channel has been phenomenal. Peppa is

Standalone PEPPA PIG ads with WHO branding promoted hand washing in line with official WHO guidance, using the Wash Your Hands Song from S8 episode The Petting Farm. “This was a really big partnership at the time, when parents and preschools could look to PEPPA PIG for reassurance,” says McKay.

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS

It’s Party Time!

Never one to shy away from the limelight, in true PEPPA PIG style, this year is going to be one huge party. So, let’s jump into 2024, in loud and proud celebration of 20 years of Peppa inspiring kid confidence…

Muddy Puddle Jumping Championship

Jumping in muddy puddles is synonymous with PEPPA PIG and in the latter part of 2024, Hasbro will be launching its Muddy Puddle Jumping Championship.

Supported by parent-targeted marketing, the campaign will also enlist celebrity fans and their families to make the biggest splash possible.

“It’s the first time Peppa has been on the big screen since 2019,” says Kristin McKay, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Global Brands, Fashion & Preschool at Hasbro.

“We’re expecting it to be shown in over 450 screens across the UK and Ireland, as well as

10

in all major markets around the world. With one hour of unseen Peppa episodes and interactive live-action content which encourages children to dance and sing along, it is the perfect first cinema experience for the youngest fans.”

The launch will be supported by marketing - PR, digital, cinema and retail - and a VIP screening in London, complete with a pink carpet, Peppa and George appearances, partner experiences, photo opportunities and goody bags.

In spring, the first batch

of new linear episodes will drop, giving fans another chance to experience Katy and Orlando’s cameos, along with special party-themed stories in honour of the 20th anniversary, with broadcast stunts and promotions running throughout the year.

From the biggest screen, to the smallest, season two of the hugely successful digital series PEPPA PIG Tales will drop in January. These 3-minute original Peppasodes have garnered close to a billion views in less than a year, and now account for 12.5% of global watch time across all Peppa content on YouTube. From January, there will be two new episodes each week, driving constant newness with Peppa’s highly engaged 33M subscribers.

Read All About It

PUBLISHING

Peppa is every child’s first best friend and nowhere is it easier to bring that to life than in books. There is a story for every first experience a child is encountering in their everyday adventures, from starting playgroup to visiting the dentist or learning to navigate friendships.

T

here have been more than 50 million PEPPA PIG books sold worldwide in the past 20 years by long-term licensee Ladybird alone. Add to that the copies sold in the US and the 40+ languages that PEPPA PIG is translated into, and the numbers really start stacking up.

“The product range started with just a handful of story and activity books but we’ve since published hundreds,” Marianne James, Vice President, Global, Licensed Consumer Products at Hasbro.

“Every year we bring more and more original stories to market, including titles referencing popular culture and events - Peppa and the Coronation was a huge hit in the UK in 2023 - and stories that are relevant to local audience, so we have Peppa’s Diwali, Peppa Goes to Ireland and more.”

James continues: “Our licensees keep Right: Peppa’s Little Library is the best-selling book for Ladybird, with over 1.5 million copies globally.

Learn with Peppa launched as an educational brand extension in 2023, building on the brand’s natural alignment with learning. Learn With Peppa brings the power and fun of Peppa to early years development, and all content is developed in consultation with early years development experts across a huge publishing range - featuring over 80 titles, as well as audio - and 45 dedicated YouTube episodes.

The range has already been successful, with Peppa’s Big Feelings shortlisted for a Teach Early award in 2023. And the full Learn With Peppa publishing programme from Ladybird won the Best Licensed Written, Listening or Learning Range Award at the Licensing Awards in 2023.

Our Peppa Journey: Ladybird

“Ladybird has proudly been Peppa’s publisher right from the very beginning,” says Leanne Gill, Publishing Director, Ladybird. “Our first books came out in May 2005 and one of the first titles was the wonderfully named Grunt!

Grunt! Our product range started with just a handful of story and activity books but we’ve since published hundreds.

I love it when we get to create brand new Peppa stories. For me, the highlight so far has been our Peppa Loves Doctors and Nurses picture book, that we created at very short notice during the Covid pandemic in 2020. We turned that book around in record time and used the opportunity to raise money for the NHS Charities Together campaign.”

“Audio is also a growth area for the brand,” says James. “We partner with Tonies, Yoto, Sony and more, and have expanding distribution on Spotify and a new podcast coming on Audible.

PEPPA PIG is in the top 3 best-selling brands for Tonies UK, and top 10 worldwide.”

This was the first time Peppa had been bought to life in 3D form outside of her own world. The ad campaign highlighted a number of hero products and was supported across our social channels, web content and influencers. We’ve also had the pleasure of the PEPPA PIG Afternoon Tea bus at some of our stores. We look forward to celebrating with Peppa in 2024.”

Alison Downie, Brand and Licensing Director, HTI Group “We secured the license for PEPPA PIG in 2005, just one year after the initial launch.

The first HTI products consisted of inflatable and wheeled toys. Our product range has evolved over time, featuring a variety of offerings including wooden toys, light and sound roleplay toys, character cases, prams, pushchairs, and family games.

It has been a pure joy to develop and evolve our PEPPA PIG ranges and toys, and to witness the positive responses from retailers, but most importantly, from

the children who adore Peppa, her family and friends. We are looking forward to celebrating with Peppa in 2024, and we aspire to continue creating exciting and innovative Peppa toys well into the future.”

“Our first PEPPA PIG Aquadoodle (at the time called Aquadraw) came out in 2008. Our partnership and product range grew as the property grew in consumers’ hearts. Our Aquadoodle range expanded with different size mats, themes and price points.

There is one product that is close to the team’s heart and Tom - our senior product designer - in particular. As we were discussing ideas for our new Grow with Peppa toddler range, one of our heritage TOMY product got Peppa-fied. The original product is called Quack Along Duck and has been part of TOMY’s portfolio for decades. The PEPPA PIG version is the Peppa Pull Along. Seeing heritage from both companies blended together and making it to the Peppa Family was truly special.”

One of our most exciting moments was winning the Best Licensed Preschool Apparel or Accessories Award at the Licensing Awards in 2022 for our Peppa-inspired sustainable range for Character.com. It’s all about teaching kids about the environment and the passion Peppa shares for the great outdoors.”

“Our range originated with three products in the Wellkid PEPPA PIG vitamins brand in 2018. Having firmly established these, we built on the success of the range with Wellkid PEPPA PIG Pro-tummy, a microbiotic supplement Above: Wellkid with clever cultures.

“We first jumped into the world of PEPPA PIG over 15 years ago, and back then, our product range was pretty straightforward, just a duvet. Fast forward to today and we’ve expanded our range to include cushions, fleece, storage, bedding, hooded fleeces Above: and we’re not stopping there. We’ve got Helen Harrison. even more cool stuff in the pipeline.

So, why do I believe this brand is thriving even two decades after its launch? Well, it all comes down to how it’s been managed for the long haul. It has been meticulously developed with longevity in mind, with compelling content and an unwavering commitment to staying relevant.”

PARTNER FEEDBACK

PEPPA PIG is a true, timeless, brand icon. She embodies good wholesome values, and everyone in the family loves and can laugh along with Peppa. We believe she’ll continue living and loving life for many years to come.”

Fave character: I’d be my namesake, Suzy Sheep, Peppa’s best friend. We always look out for each other and love nothing more than to have a chat and jump in muddy puddles!

Lindsay Hardy, Marketing Director, Trends UK “We first launched our range of PEPPA PIG ELAs (electronic learning toys) in autumn 2016.

There were just four items to start with but three of them are still going strong today, particularly Peppa’s Flip & Learn Phone. Fast forward to 2023 and we now have 12 items.

Small children identify so strongly with Peppa because she’s doing what they are doing, in the home, at school, on family outings and adventures. She’s the ideal guide and friend and she’s funny. The PEPPA PIG brand is strongest when the stories and the merchandise reflect those core preschool and family experiences.”

Fave character: Miss Rabbit. I just love how she can turn her hand to absolutely anything and seems to be incredibly well organised and full of energy.

Stuart Grant, Buying Director, The Entertainer “PEPPA PIG is a preschool property that has stood the test of time. Over the years we’ve seen other brands come and go, but PEPPA PIG is one that we will always list year-in, year-out. I think Above : Stuart Grant. it is the gentle humour engaging both children and adults that is the key to its success. At the preschool age group, adults are co-viewing, so programming needs to engage adults as well, and PEPPA PIG does that so very well.

Some of my favourite memories of Peppa are the charity tie-ins that we have done. We did a lot with Save the Children a few years back, including an exclusive Christmas jumper figure set and we were very involved with the Muddy Puddle Walk.”

“Danilo first worked with PEPPA PIG over 10 years ago, when we Above: launched the first Dan Grant.. official PEPPA PIG calendar into the market. At that time the range was minimal but got great listings and delivered strong sales. In 2019, we gained the rights for greeting cards and more recently giftwrap and giftbags.

I think PEPPA PIG is great example of a brand that not only targets the core audience of preschool kids, but also engages with parents, relatives and friends. I think the property really did re-write the rules for preschool properties in this way, with adults being happy to sit down with kids and enjoy the show equally as much.”

Fave character: Given my name, I should probably be Danny Dog… however I think Mr Potato is a great character.

“We have always wanted to innovate Above: Kenny with the PEPPA PIG McAndrew. brand and got the chance in 2019 with Peppa Pig’s Clever Car, an item we still do to this day. Over the years we have added to the vehicle lines, with the Clever Plane and Clever Train.

We have also created electronic indoor Peppa Boots that play songs while you run around.

PEPPA PIG is an evergreen brand that is loved by preschoolers but also by parents. It has been comforting, humouring and educating them both for 20 years. PEPPA PIG is consistent. It knows what to means to its fans and has always maintained Above: Greeting that high quality level.” card from Danilo.

CREATIVE PRODUCTION

Getting Animated British animation studio, Karrot took on creative production duties from original creators Astley Baker Davies in 2021.

Here’s what it means to some of the team to be working on this iconic brand.

Jamie Badminton, Series Creative Producer

“Family life is at the centre of PEPPA PIG, and there had never been a show that reflected preschoolers’ everyday routines and perspectives quite like it. Peppa is a relatable hero and friend to the audience, and her spirit is infectious.

Peppa has become a real mascot for preschoolers everywhere. Peppa’s confidence helps them to amplify their voice, and her resilience helps them encourage their own individuality. She is also a bit of a cultural ambassador for Britain around the world and a true success story from our animation industry.”

Fave character: I think Daddy Pig is a wonderful father to Peppa and really enjoys having fun with his kids.

Steven Forbes, Animator

“The brand has become a household name. It is quintessentially British. Peppa is known and trusted, something that new parents don’t hesitate to show their kids, and even with the hype surrounding newer, more modern shows.

The large back catalogue of Peppa makes it an old faithful.”

Fave character: Pedro Pony because he is full of laughs and doesn’t take life too seriously!

James Butler, Head of Layout

“It gets lost sometimes just how good the animation is. I see it every day, how skilled the animators are that bring the episodes to life.

Highlights for me have to be visits to PEPPA PIG theme parks, here in the UK and abroad. Seeing the 2D world we create realised as larger-than-life attractions and rides is surreal but joyful. As is seeing all the excitement and fun that the public have on their days out.”

Fave character: Mr Labrador.

He has all the icecream.

Ben Cady, Animator

“PEPPA PIG has a charming, unique sense of design, and beautifully written, thoughtful, and funny stories. It has a carefully considered animation style and it’s as easy to enjoy as an adult as it is for a child. PEPPA PIG is a carefully constructed world, a character, and a cast of characters, that we believe in, relate to, and grow to love. Without these things to base itself on, I don’t think it would’ve become the worldwide phenomenon that it is now.”

Fave character: Danny Dog.

Maria Pullen, Production Coordinator

“Through the years, Peppa has been a relatable companion to kids as they experience the world and learn new things. Peppa is universally charming and fun, and even after 20 years, the show still captures the hearts of families across the globe.

One of my favourite memories was when I answered the phone at Karrot and Richard Ridings (Daddy Pig) was on the line. It was so surreal hearing Daddy Pig’s voice talking to me and sending his thanks for the work we do. He was so sweet!”

Fave character: It’d have to be Peppa – she knows how to find joy in the simplest of things.

The Power of Peppa

Hasbro’s #PeppaPower campaign ran in the UK and Germany in 2022 and was a chance to show parents and caregivers what Peppa means to children. In both the UK and Germany, children were invited to draw a picture of Peppa and explain why they love Peppa.

These pictures were then turned into posters in a huge out of home (OOH) Above: A ad campaign, social media ads and large OOH in Germany. magazine ads. It was a very successful campaign, reaching .4.4M people in the UK and 3.9M in Germany.

PEPPA PIG is live on stage in over 20 countries, as well as her presence in theme parks and other live experiences acound the world, from PEPPA PIG Play Cafes in China, to PEPPA PIG World of Plays in the Netherlands, Shanghai and the US. Above: The first PEPPA PIG Play Café opened in China in 2022.

Peppa isn’t known as Peppa in every territory. In Danish, Peppa is called ‘Gurli Gris’. In Finnish, Peppa’s name is ‘Pipsa’. In Germany, Peppa’s family are called the ‘Wutz’ family, rather than the ‘Pig’ family.

Peppa’s friends and family also have different names in other countries. In German, Suzy Sheep is ‘Luzie Locke’ (‘Locke’ means ‘curl’ referring to her curly wool); in Swedish, she is called ‘Lena Lamm’, and in Danish she’s called ‘Frida Far’. Danny Dog is ‘Klausi Kläff’in Germany (‘Kläff’ means ‘Yapp’ like the noise a dog makes). And, in Czech, George is actually called ‘Tom’.

FUTURE PLANS

Looking to the Future The key to the success of PEPPA PIG is the continued investment and evolution of the brand so that it keeps resonating in the hearts of families today. There are a lot of exciting changes to come across the full franchise: from reimagined content, to a fresh and dynamic look across visual assets.

C

onsumers love Peppa.

They also love the diverse and expansive cast from the show and they want more ways to engage with their favourite friends and families, across more touchpoints.

“This is a unique point of difference that our competitors can’t activate, and it unlocks exciting new opportunities for us, in storytelling, products and play, across multiple years,” says Kristin McKay, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Global Brands, Fashion & Preschool at Hasbro. “Evolving our storytelling to be relevant to today’s modern family is so vitally important to our Peppa growth plan.”

New linear episodes will feature

more in-depth storylines from friends and family characters, rolling out across 180+ broadcasters around the world.

The PEPPA PIG Tales series will support this strategy, with 104 new YouTube episodes helping to build out the rich breadth of characters that exist within Peppa’s inclusive and expansive world.

“You can expect more from George and the grandparents, more from Suzy and Rebecca, more diversity of family groups, living arrangements, accents and relationships,” says McKay.

Right: There will be more albums to follow up from Let’s Jump In, which was released in September 2023.

Peppa the Pop Star

This year is set to be a big year for Peppa music, with the highest level of investment and biggest music pipeline to date with a multitude of albums, EPs and singles with over 200+ new releases planned.

“We will continue to tie into some of the bigger and broader franchise activity,” says Matt Proulx, vice president, Global Experiences, Partnerships and Music at Hasbro. “We have five brand new releases featuring in the cinema interstitial content releasing in February, creating the perfect platform to experience new music and allowing a continued consumer journey with streaming at home. We will also be launching a new ‘With Peppa’ series which ties into the global brand positioning of Let’s Jump in. Plus looking to unlock music for the brand extensions; Learn & Grow.”

Above: Sustainability is a big part of the future plans for Hasbro, so there’ll be more innovation in the LCP space, such as plush made from recycled materials.

Marianne James, Vice President, Global, Licensed Consumer Products at Hasbro adds: “Commercially we want to ensure we are growing as a franchise and delivering must-have products to our preschoolers who love and cherish the brand. At every retailer channel from high end to value, we want to give every preschooler a chance to cherish their own moments with Peppa.”

Innovation and delivering newness are a big part of the future roadmap for PEPPA PIG. To that end, sustainability and circular fashion are becoming even more important, with Hasbro looking to make this part of its fashion strategic goals and ambitions.

“We’re putting Peppa at the forefront of first experiences, whether that is through content or product,” says James. “2026 will bring even more oinks and giggles, as we expand our multi-generational reach, building off the pop culture relevance we’re driving, with content and experiences the whole family will enjoy together. We’re expanding the world of PEPPA PIG to drive to a $2B franchise for the future.”
