Last year, we set out to create a memorable holiday campaign for Vaughan Mills shopping centre. It involved creating Santa’s Tiny Big Town, the perfect place for families to make memories. Unlike other Santa experiences, this one provided a winding entrance full of interactive games for the children to play while they waited to see Santa, as well as a unique narrative focusing on the importance of spending time with the ones you love.
To coincide with the launch of Tiny Big Town, Vaughan Mills also announced a new charitable partner, The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). One hundred per cent of proceeds from all photo packages sold were donated to SickKids for the duration of Santa’s Tiny Big Town, with a goal of raising $100,000. Viewers were urged to share the cause across their networks using the hashtag #keytotheholidays. They ended up surpassing their goal, raising a total of $115,000 for SickKids!
