Overview
For 85 years LEGO® has had a mission to, “Inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow.” While principles of art, engineering and creativity are timeless, what one creates and how they choose to build and share with the world is continually changing. LEGO in the course of its history has had its share of failures and success as it has experimented to incorporate technology into its physical system of play. The Danish phrase ”Leg godt” means to, “play well”. This presentation is how LEGO’s in-house creative agency is evolving and “playing well” in order to keep the brand fresh but also timeless.
Join Bryan Williams, creative technologist, as he shares what has worked, what has failed and what lessons teams are still learning as they adapt to changing internal needs, consumer behaviours and marketing conditions particularly as it relates to digital technology.
