An Integrated Media Campaign for Hasbro Studios
An Integrated Media Campaign for Hasbro Studios Richard Rodriguez Integrated Communication Hawaii Pacific University November 23, 2015 Executive Summary MY LITTLE PONY is a brand introduced by Hasbro in 1983 targeted at girls age 4-9. Over the years it has established itself as a leading brand for the company, promoted through numerous animated TV series, home video releases and a theatrical film. In the late 2000s Hasbro hired animation producer Lauren Faust, whose credits include The Powerpuff Girls, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends and Super Best Friends Forever, to re-imagine MLP for a new generation of fans. The result was the TV series MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC, which premiered in 2010 and became a surprise runaway hit and fan culture phenomenon. Faust’s contributions have made FIM the most successful MLP franchise in the brand’s history and the company’s leading brand overall for the past six years. The life cycle of the current MLP franchise is nearing its end. To ensure the brand’s viability against newer competing brands, the company is taking the best values of FIM and the most beloved characters from its entire history to develop the next generation of MLP, to be known as MY LITTLE PONY: TWO OF A KIND. Just as Hasbro Studios partners with creative stewards to re-imagine, revision and re-ignite its brands as TV and film franchises, so it has partnered with Honolulu public relations firm Newport Muse Hawaii to develop an integrated campaign to introduce TWO OF A KIND to the diverse MLP audience and continue the brand’s commercial and critical success.

New Neighborhood Market Gets Two Thumbs up from Young D.C. Damali Hall and Peter Berg Young D.C
Volume 22• Number 4 • April 2013 This issue published online only New neighborhood market gets two thumbs up from Young D.C. Damali Hall and Peter Berg Young D.C. Glen’s Garden Market opened Sunday April 14, 2013. YDC caught up with co-founder Danielle Vogel and chef Sean Sullivan on Friday April 19. After working on Capitol Hill on a doomed climate change bill, Vogel decided to open up a store that would bring about change with every bite. Sean Sullivan joined her to create Glen’s Garden Market, named for Vogel’s late father. Glen’s Garden Market is supplied with produce, groceries and meat from 300 different vendors. While Vogel and Sullivan plan to venture out further, they will only look for vendors in the Chesapeake Watershed states: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, New York, Delaware and D.C. The store offers a welcoming, open atmosphere and the music is really great. As “I Just Haven’t Met You Yet” by Michael Bublé floated from the speak- ers, YDC decided that we’d met a great new business. This neighborhood store is well organized and things are set out on tables for easy access. The labeling is also clear and informative. The produce is arranged so everything is within arm’s length. Foods that go well together, such as salsa and chips, and foods that are in the same food group, such as dairy products, are located near one another. There is a deli area and a freezer aisle. There are no bulky carts to crowd the space; instead, the market provides environmentally friendly shopping bags.

GENDER IN EQUESTRIA: AN EXAMINATION OF RECONSTITUTED FORMS OF MASCULINITY AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES FOR GENDER RELATIONS IN THE BRONY COMMUNITY by Zachary D. Palmer A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Purdue University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology West Lafayette, Indiana May 2019 2 THE PURDUE UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL STATEMENT OF COMMITTEE APPROVAL Dr. Linda Renzulli, Chair Department of Sociology Dr. Rachel Einwohner Department of Sociology Dr. Carolyn Perrucci Department of Sociology Dr. Jo Reger Department of Sociology, Oakland University Approved by: Dr. Shawn Bauldry Head of the Graduate Program 3 For my son, Avi. You didn’t help enough to make it into the acknowledgements, but everything I do is for you. 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank the educators who guided and influenced me along the way. In particular, Elaine McDuff and Rachel Kraus, both of whom made me the sociologist I am today. I admire both so much and truly would not be where I am without them. I must also mention Melinda Messineo, in whose cultural sociology class I came up with the idea of studying Bronies, and Jack Spencer, the first person to suggest that it might be an interesting dissertation topic. And, of course, my committee members, Linda Renzulli, Rachel Einwohner, Carolyn Perrucci, and Jo Reger did so much to help shape this dissertation. Linda especially stepped in at a critical time and did so much to see me through to the end. This dissertation would not have been possible without the help and support of Preethi Krishnan, Vasundhara Kaul, and Lori Lundell, who were there with me through the best and worst of graduate school.

1 The Taming of the Bronies: Animals, Autism and Fandom as Therapeutic Performance Maria Pramaggiore, Maynooth University Abstract: In defining and defending the Brony fandom, scholars and journalists emphasise the way these primarily adult male fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic challenge traditional gender norms. These accounts fail to examine the significance of the horse to the Bronies’ bid for non-normative masculinities. This article focuses on the implicitly therapeutic function of the animated equine, reading the fandom’s discourse about itself in two documentaries within the context of a contemporary (and often antifeminist) rhetoric that links adolescent masculinity to forms of disability that are ameliorated through Equine Assisted Therapy. This therapeutic resonance—based on the characteristic movement of horses—is situated within a broader history of cinema and visual culture in which horses have typically been recruited as vehicles of physical and psychic transport. The emergence of the Brony fandom in 2011 in the wake of toy and game manufacturer Hasbro’s 2010 reboot of the My Pretty Pony (1981)/My Little Pony (1983) franchise from the 1980s captured the attention of journalists and scholars alike. Numerous articles and essays explore the subversive potential of these adult male fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (2010–), hereafter MLP:FiM, an animated toy-based children’s series created by Lauren Faust, who previously worked on Powerpuff Girls (1998–2005). The programme is organised around a group of characters known as “the Mane Six” who are hybrid, anthropomorphic, talking ponygirls. The Brony subculture of adolescent boys and adult men developed within the online environment of the “Comics & Cartoons” discussion board of 4chan, an image-board site established in 2003 by 15-year-old Christopher Poole.

Girl Loses Her Virginity at Bronycon 2016 & Other Stories
Girl loses her virginity at BronyCon 2016 & other stories This year I attended BronyCon for the first time in order to interview people about their love for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Some of the people I spoke to really love MLP, while others managed to find love between the sheets of a cheap Baltimore hotel. All is fair in love and bronydom and below I have compiled a few interesting stories from people I spoke to during my three days at BronyCon (July 8 – 10). The Girl Who Lost Her Virginity at BronyCon 2016 One girl I spoke to at BronyCon - 19 years of age wearing a wonky tiara and pink wig as an aspiring Pinkie Pie – told me on the Sunday that on Saturday night she slept with a man for the first time. The man, described as being 'older than [her] but not too old for it to be weird', met her on the Friday and complimented her on her costume. They encountered one another again on the Saturday and spent most of the day hanging around with each other. “We both went to BronyCon with friends so it's weird in a way that we spent most of the time together,” she said. “He was a good looking guy and stood out because he had sunglasses on his head, even indoors.” After spending Saturday together the two went off-site for the evening, managing to find a store and purchase some alcohol and hot pockets which they took back to the room in the Baltimore hotel the fellow was staying at.

Little Girls and the Things That They Love”
1 “Little girls and the things that they love”: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Audience, Identity, and the Privilege of Contemporary Fan Culture Ewan Kirkland Abstract: The recent generation of My Little Pony has received popular and academic attention due to its visible following of young male enthusiasts. This article explores the so- called Brony phenomenon in terms of gender and age, cult spectator practices, fandom, masculinities, and the kinds of participatory culture with which the new series is associated. Despite the apparent transgression of men enjoying a television show clearly coded as being for young girls, the article argues that Brony practices reproduce many male-centered aspects of fan media consumption in a manner that recuperates the femininity of the brand according to masculine values and cultures. The femininity of the thirty-year-old series is placed in historical and theoretical context, illustrating parallels between current and earlier incarnations of the franchise and its continuities with other women-centered popular media. Particularly significant here is the program’s emphasis on female friendship. Yet such “gynocentric” qualities and the series’ affinity with young viewers might have been eroded in recent episodes. This is partly through the incorporation of more masculine genres, but also in the increasing address of the show to its online fandom, an audience employing channels of expression from which young people are effectively excluded. These developments function to marginalize the series’ core audience—“little girls”—in a process of appropriation and redefinition that ultimately serves the interests of a more visible and powerful demographic. Keywords: Brony, fandom, male privilege, My Little Pony Introduction At the 2012 BronyCon, a convention for adult and adolescent male fans of the animated series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (MLPFIM, syndicated, 2010–), showrunner Lauren Faust addressed a cheering crowd in a heartfelt expression of gratitude.
