Coolabi plans social promotion for news series' recently launched product line.

Coolabi Group is planning a Christmas-themed "Clangers" Facebook campaign–12 Days of Brilliant Surprises–to support the property's new product range.

The campaign will be hosted on Facebook and promoted across Twitter, Pinterest and Clangers.com beginning Dec. 1 and will tie in with the release of The Brilliant Surprise book by Penguin.

Every day for 12 days, "Clangers" fans will have a chance to win new merchandise from licensees such as Signature Entertainment DVDs (signed by the show’s narrator Michael Palin), a bundle of "Clangers" toys from Character Options and Duvet sets from Dreamtex. Coolabi has also worked with partners to offer the chance to win a Merlin Family annual pass, a family set of Innocent Smoothies lunch boxes and vouchers and a "Hoot" prop used in the making of the new "Clangers" TV series, which launched on CBeebies in June.

“To have 19 licensees signed for 'Clangers' after launching the program just five months ago is incredible, and we are delighted to be launching the 12 Days of Brilliant Surprises across our digital platforms,” says Valerie Fry, director of licensing, Coolabi.
