Richprime Global Inc., in partnership with Toy Kingdom and sponsored by Red Ribbon and Mattel, held a free-play, all-day on-ground activation entitled, Barbie Creative Summit at SM Mall of Asia Atrium last May 2018 to strengthen its core message to the market: which is meant as a gateway to a girl's imagination.
Many studies indicate that parents in Asia see imaginative play as distracting from their child’s development, with some even considering play as harmful to learning. Adults may respond negatively to play because they define it as simply having fun and, therefore, as a waste of time. But though play can be fun, it contributes to the best kind of learning.
Thus, Richprime Global Inc. saw this opportunity and launched a local key message, Create Your Own Story with Barbie®, for its fashion doll brand as part of its broader initiative to empower and inspire the limitless potential in every kid.
This further communicates Mattel’s guiding principle: “Don’t tell the kids how to play with Barbie. Let them show us,” which was also part of its campaign video.

Tammy my daughter joined this inspiring day filled with imaginative storytelling at the #BarbieCreativeSummit event with his dad.

I was not available at that time kaya it was the husband who accompanied Tammy at the event — Thank you husby! Super Dad ka talaga!
I was filled in with so much fun and interesting stories about the experience they had.
The husband also shared to me about a campaign video shown at the summit. He said, in the video, two documentarians and a play specialist were sent into the homes of parents to ask them what they think of Barbie, they handed Barbie to kids to play with, without telling them how exactly they were expected to play with them and filmed their interactions. One notable story includes a single dad who never saw himself playing with Barbie as a kid but plays with them more often with his daughter, while another story revolves around a pair of siblings who use the dolls to unlock their own "superpowers." Wrapping up the campaign video, different career-related stories were seen, heard and told. Children create new learning experiences through playing and these self-created experiences enable them to acquire social, emotional, and intellectual skills they could not acquire in any other way.

Moreover, aspiring vloggers and YouTubers wannabe will be more delighted to join a digital storytelling contest, which will run in July this year.
It was announced during the event, in which the grand prize winner will take home the newest Barbie DreamHouse with 8 rooms, 3 floors and over 70 accessories and more exciting prizes up to P25,000. Check out Barbie’s Facebook Page @BarbiePHOfficial for exciting updates.
