Lego launches festival of play to celebrate 50th year in Australia
Host and PR agency One Green Bean are behind a new campaign for Lego to mark the toy brand’s 50th anniversary in Australia.
The campaign is built around the ‘Festival of Play’, a nine-month push to encourage kids and adults to celebrate through play.
A dedicated website LEGOfestival.com.au goes live today, as does a 90-second video that tells the story of how the first Lego brick arrived in Australia.
Between April and December this year, Festival of Play will be further brought to life through outdoor, print, digital, social media and PR. Monthly calendar initiatives will run in support, with a first activation to launch on Wednesday of this week.
Caroline Squire, Lego’s director of marketing for Lego Australia and NewZealand said in a press release: “We’ve been really excited about this national initiative from the first time Host and One Green Bean presented the concept. We can’t wait to celebrate the foundation of Lego toys in Australia, with this innovative campaign designed to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow.”

I am really glad Lego has made it to 50 in Australia on its way to becoming the biggest toy in the world. I am also happy OGB and Host were involved. What I don’t understand though is how a site has been created that will be updated over 9 months and I can’t follow it on Facebook or even sign up to an email list. I will not remember to check back every month to see what you are doing no matter how strong the nostalgic love of Lego is…
