From astronaut to zoologist, there isn’t a plastic ceiling Barbie hasn’t broken. With over 200 careers and counting, she continues to inspire the limitless potential in every girl. To commemorate #Barbie60, the brand highlighted milestones in Barbie history and launched the biggest celebration of role models across the globe.
Leading up to the anniversary, we celebrated Barbie history to build awareness and better educate audiences on the brand. We launched a 60 day countdown of Barbie’s biggest moments on Instagram stories supported by a series of Barbie Through the Decades in feed posts. The content drove to an interactive history timeline on Barbie.com where users could explore more milestones.
