The Best Barbie Movie Brand Collaborations

Newsflash– it’s a Barbie world and we’re just living in it. That’s right, the “Barbie” movie – starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling – has officially stepped off of the shelf and into the box office.

With an estimated $150 million marketing budget and a bit of plastic (it’s fantastic!), parent company Mattel’s marketing department has been working in overdrive to create an inescapable, hot pink marketing frenzy– launching over 100 product marketing brand collaborations!

From Barbie Land Berry Pink frozen yogurt to Barbie DreamHouse scented candles, brands across nearly every vertical possible have hopped on the Barbie bandwagon to sell their products and services. Meaning that whether you’re trying to figure out tonight’s dinner plans, redecorating your home, need a wardrobe refresh, or even a place to stay for your next family vacation, you can likely do so in Barbie pink!

In fact, you might even feel a bit of decision fatigue shopping through all of the options on the market. 

Thankfully, our team has narrowed down a list of our favorite Barbie brand collaborations– proving that there truly is a bit of Barbie Girl within us all!

In true Barbie style, Microsoft/Xbox is using its brand collaboration to inspire the next generation of women in STEM!

While it’s not an official brand collaboration, we’re big fans of Google’s Barbie hommage. When searching “Barbie,” “Barbie the Movie,” “Margot Robbie,” “Ryan Gosling,” or “Greta Gerwig” via Google a surprise flash of pink sparkles pops up on the Google search results page! ✨
