Ogilvy Bangkok launched Lego’s “Build the Future” print ad campaign in 2017, and the campaign’s outstanding visuals and uplifting message won over hearts. The campaign aimed to highlight Lego’s involvement in encouraging youngsters to follow their aspirations and inspire them.
The campaign struck the cord for the following reasons:
Creative Imagery: the ad campaign showed three kids, each symbolizing their future goals, standing up on enormous Lego models. The three images showed the kids building a firefighter, an astronaut, and a guitarist, depicting what they want to become in the future – building their futures.
Strong Emotional Connection: the ad campaign used the potential of childish dreams and Lego’s limitless potential to appeal to children. Viewers related to the brand’s association with encouraging imagination and hope for the future as they saw kids playing with Lego bricks and creating their unique imaginative creations.
The phrase “Build the future” encapsulated the spirit of the campaign in a nutshell and stuck with people long after the campaign ended.
