Imagination-Oriented Block Campaigns

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Leo Burnett Moscow LEGO Ads Ask You to Think Beyond the Box

— April 26, 2011 — Marketing
When it comes to LEGO, nothing should limit a child’s imagination -- not even the picture on the box. Who says you have to build exactly what the box describes? Why not let your imagination run wild to its farthest reaches? As these print ads from Leo Burnett Moscow showcase, it's time to bring the wonder of play time and fantasy to everyday LEGO building.

With Mikhail Kudashkin as Creative Director, Arina Avdeeva as Art Director and illustrations by Ninjafilms Studio, these print ads feature an imperial-flagged ship taking flight into a creepy-crawly beetle, the Taj Mahal morphing into a spaceship and a grand carousel transforming into a deep sea diver. The only limit to what you can create is the capacity of your own imagination. LEGO provides the supplies; you provide the creativity.
Trend Themes
1. Imagination-driven Play - Creating campaigns that encourage children to think beyond the box and use their imagination to create unique LEGO builds.
2. Creative Freeform Building - Promoting the idea that LEGO sets are just a starting point, and that children should be encouraged to use their creativity to build beyond the instructions.
3. Transformative Play Experiences - Highlighting the potential for LEGO to transform ordinary objects into extraordinary creations, inspiring children to think outside the box in their play.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Manufacturing - Opportunity for toy manufacturers to develop LEGO-compatible sets that provide open-ended play experiences, sparking children's creativity and imagination.
2. Advertising and Marketing - Potential for advertising agencies to create imaginative campaigns that showcase the transformative power of their clients' products or services, inspiring customers to think creatively.
3. Education and Child Development - Opportunity for educators and child development experts to incorporate imagination-oriented LEGO building into curriculums, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills.
