At the Lego Group, children are our role models – they inspire us with their creativity, curiosity and imagination, so who better to turn to for our holiday campaign?” said Julia Goldin, chief product and marketing officer.
The new ad campaign is a celebration of the creative power and optimism that children have, she says, “seeing the endless possibilities for play and showing us how play can change the world for the better.”
Developed by the creative team of the Lego agency, the video will be broadcast on television, social networks, as well as outdoor advertising and in shopping centers in 35 countries around the world.
