The London 2012 Olympic Games was a once in a lifetime event for Londoners. For the occasion LEGO secured a Team GB licence to create a relevant and interesting link between the LEGO brand and the London Olympics. The campaign was aimed at harnessing the energy and mass publicity around the excitement and inspiration of this much celebrated experience.
To drive widespread awareness of the LEGO brand a set of 9 Team GB mini figures were produced as an exclusive promotion. Team GB was the most locally and currently relevant licence LEGO UK has ever had.
To stand out as the best children’s brand through this unique association the outdoor campaign of posters and digital billboards covered 35 key London sites during the games, with 4 in the Olympic Village vicinity, for four weeks. With image sizes up to 12 metres in length LEGO now view the overall campaign as a strong benchmark for the brand in terms of simplicity and clarity of message.
Designed and created in conjunction with Dazzleship, the LOGO Group’s outdoor campaign featuring the Team GB mini figures and the Olympic rings was voted one of the top 5 launched to mark the London games, and also found a place in the ‘Campaign Outdoor Hall of Fame’.
