Skate Kitchen ‘Campaign & Events’

IHC joined Skate Kitchen to oversee the creative marketing and event production

Magnolia Pictures and director Crystal Moselle enlisted IHEARTCOMIX to oversee the creative marketing for Skate Kitchen, a film about an all-girl skateboarding collective that co-stars Jaden Smith.

Our role was to bring in any and all opportunities for the movie, with a goal of connecting the property to pop culture in a meaningful way. Starting on the campaign shortly after the film’s premiere at Sundance, our duties included brand partnerships, social media, event production, collaborations, influencer marketing and overall strategy.

Marketing & Partnerships

Our primary role on Skate Kitchen was to create as many opportunities as possible for the film through brand and marketing partnerships. From New Balance to GIPHY to Polaroid to Tumblr we succeeded in bringing financial support and wide exposure to the campaign.

Marketing Highlights

  • Giphy: Our partnership with GIPHY became one of the most successful of the Skate Kitchen campaign. Three sets of GIFs, including stereoscopic portraits and stickers, translated to 213.8 Million views. 
  • Tumblr: Tumblr hosted a Video Answer Time with the cast of Skate Kitchen garnering 200k engagements and 39 Million impressions.
  • Twitter: Twitter supported Skate Kitchen by verifying the film and director Crystal Moselle’s accounts.

Brand Partnership Highlights

  • New Balance: New Balance partnered for both NYC and LA premieres as well as an online campaign to help support Skate Kitchen.
  • Volcom: Volcom supported Skate Kitchen in several ways from hosting two screening and skating events in Austin and Costa Mesa, to partnering at the LA premiere to online promotion.
  • Polaroid: we partnered with Polaroid to sponsor the premieres in NY & LA. Cameras and film were provided for the events and Polaroid shared the content across their social media accounts.

Merchandise and Soundtrack Highlights

IHC facilitated partnerships with Fortune Skateboards, Volcom and Urban Outfitters to coordinate merch creation and release. We also worked with the Darkroom and Interscope to coordinate promotion surrounding the soundtrack release. Additionally, IHC created our own Skate Kitchen playlist which was promoted across Apple Music and Spotify.
