Ravensburger 01869 363 830 | www.ravensburger.com Ravensburger targets continued growth for the Brio brand this year with a wealth of innovative new products and continued heavyweight marketing support. Following the launch of Smart Tech additions to the Brio World collection, the brand is set to break new ground in the category with the autumn launch of Smart Tech Sound. Adding a further layer of interactivity and customisation, children can record their own voice into the new Smart Tech Sound Engine with the push of a button. Then, as the engine drives under the ‘play sound’ tunnel, they will hear their own unique sound play back. For even more customisation, the Smart Tech Sound Engine can be connected to the Smart Tech Sound app. Using the app, children can choose a new sound for a specific action tunnel or destination, or even record their own sounds and upload them to any of the Smart Tech Sound accessories. A range of Smart Tech Sound sets will be available and compatible with others sets in the Brio World collection. The marriage of technology and tradition is also demonstrated in another autumn launch - the Code & Go Bumblebee. Reflecting the style of iconic Brio pull-along toys, the cute bumblebee can be programmed by pre-schoolers, using the input buttons on its back. After programming a sequence of moves using the buttons, children can see the bumblebee come to life and perform their instructed sequence in movement, lights and sounds. Adding to Brio’s popular pull-along collection, the Pull Along Firefly, designed for children aged 12 months and up, features blinking lights, buzzing sounds and wobbly antenna movements as children pull it along. A year-round marketing campaign is in place for Brio, while extensive merchandising materials are available to ensure stand-out at retail.
