Besides the UK marketing campaign, I think generally Nintendo pushes this game worldwide in a way that hasn't been done since long time for their games.
Here's a movie about the skate park (I think it's the same one) being transformed into Splatoon-themed one:

That's according to Nintendo UK marketing manager Chandra Nair, who says that the firm is confident in its colourful new shooter.
The platform holder is already pushing Splatoon with digital billboards, cinema ads ahead of Tomorrowland (for kids) and Mad Max (for adults), sponsorship of Cartoon Network, and a digital campaign that started in April. The firm is even opening a Splatoon-themed skatepark in Corby.
We have the utmost confidence in the potential of Splatoon. It gives retailers a fantastic art style that stands out in-store or on-screen and it also offers various up-sell opportunities with the accompanying Amiibo. It's a really interesting game for us because it allows us to expand out to a group of people who may never have considered Wii U before.
