Walmart’s Add to Heart

A first-of-its-kind, fully shoppable content series introduced Walmart into the Social ‘RomCommerce’ Space.

Holiday RomComs are massively popular. 80M people watch at least a few minutes of a Hallmark movie every year. So in 2024 we created the first-ever, fully shoppable TikTok series to make finding (and buying) the *perfect* holiday thing as easy as watching your favorite TV show. This 23-part series are so much more than a RomCom. They’re RomCommerce.
