Walmart, Fox Campaign Promotes Eco-Brands
Walmart and Twentieth Century Fox have partnered to promote eco-friendly brands including Brita, Burt’s Bees, Glad, Green Works and Clorox ? and the studio’s home-video launch of “Epic,” an environmentally themed animated film. The partners say the green-marketing effort is intended to encourage kids and families to purchase more sustainable household, grocery, health and beauty products.
Walmart launched its Epic Green Warriors campaign ? each product, such as Glad compostable trash bags and Brita water bottles and filters, has an Epic Warrior sticker ? at 2,800 stores to help boost pre-orders for the kids movie, which will become available on DVD and Blu-ray on Aug. 20, Variety reports.
