Mattel Asia Pacific’s Post

Mattel is redefining how it connects with fans across Asia-Pacific through an exciting direct-to-consumer (DTC) strategy. “We see our consumers as fans,” says Paul Faulkner, SVP of Mattel APAC. From Barbie-themed hotels and Hot Wheels live tours to e-commerce platforms, we’re delivering immersive experiences that go beyond toys. Tailoring our approach to local markets, we’re blending entertainment and education, particularly with Fisher-Price, which is trusted by parents for developmental play. “It’s about providing the best possible experience, whether online or in-store,” Faulkner adds. By expanding digital games, creating location-based entertainment, and focusing on educational play, Mattel is building lasting memories with consumers while driving innovation in the toy industry. With regional offerings that combine play with learning, we’re unlocking endless possibilities and shaping the future of purposeful play in Asia-Pacific.
