👩 How The Barbie Movie Used A.I To Make $1 Billion

Whether you were team Oppenheimer or team Barbie (#teamOpenhiemer) when they both hit theaters a few weeks ago, one thing’s for sure…

Barbie killed it with $155 Million in revenue in its opening week.

(That’s $30 million more than Avatar 2)

Now 1 week later, Barbie has hit $1 billion in total box office revenue.

For reference, only 53 movies in history can say that.

When asked about their marketing secrets, Barbie marketers gave one answer…

Generative A.I (A.I that creates content).

Naturally, this turned a lot of heads. No one was expecting that answer.

Here’s how they did it:

#1 - The Barbie movie poster generator. This was a visual A.I tool that used A.I to make custom Barbie posters from selfies.

To kick it off, they asked influencers to post their movie poster on their social media using the hashtag #TheBarbieMovie.

Fast forward 3 months later and the A.I tool had over 13 million users.

#2 - A.I-powered quizzes. Barbie marketers also released multiple quizzes that find out which Barbie the users are most like. (Kinda odd but people loved it).

Then users were pushed to post their Barbie personality on social media with the same hashtag #TheBarbieMovie.

With both of these strategies combined, that hashtag hit an Instagram record of 325K posts in under 4 months. 

#3 - A.I-generated Bumble compliments. I think this one’s the best tactic yet.

Barbie partnered with Bumble (a dating app with over 12 million users) and used A.I to write up ‘Barbie Compliments’ for users to send to matches.

The result?

75% of Bumble users said they loved it and wanted to see go and see the movie with a date.

So not only are they making their target audience happy, but they’re getting two tickets instead of one. Genius.

Barbie marks the first major movie to use generative A.I a marketing strategy.

Now that everyone has seen their success, they’ve started a trend that’s catching on fast.

Like with CocaCola who just partnered with OpenAI for their “Create Real Magic” campaign which seems to be getting a lot of traction.

🌎 The A.I Partnership That Will Save The World

I’ll keep this one short and sweet, but I was reading about this partnership between two tech companies that I think is pretty f*cking awesome (and GREAT news for us).

NASA has partnered with IBM (the world’s biggest philanthropist) to combine A.I with space tech.

Nasa wants to use A.I to get more data on catastrophes so we get a better understanding of what’s going on.

It’s like ChatGPT but for NASA.

The plan:

Satellites collect data → A.I analyzes the data → Gov uses data to prepare for disasters

NASA says with A.I, they’re able to analyze 250,000TB more data with a 15% higher success rate. 

Super exciting.

A few weeks back we talked about The Frontier Model Forum - the A.I club with tech giants and politicians.

One of the goals was to use A.I to solve major problems like global warming and poverty.

It’s unclear whether this is a result of that meeting, but either way, we’ll see more things like this on the horizon.

*no pun intended
