BE THE PLAYFUL ONE CREATE GREAT SHOPPING EXPERIENCES. CLIENT LEGO Retail Experience THE MISSION Make visiting the LEGO Store an exciting, engaging and playful shopping experience by bringing the LEGO brand promise of playful learning to life inside the LEGO Stores. UNDERLYING BUSINESS OBJECTIVE Design the LEGO Store as a place that not only sells one of the largest selections of classic LEGO products, exclusives and licensed goods, but also builds and enhances the brand image in an engaging and memorable way with fun. That means: Increase footfall and retain customers in the store longer by involving them in engaging activities and ultimately convert this to sales. Create lasting engagements with the brand leading to returning customers. Develop easy to play experiences that are quick, relevant and fun. Create unique experiences that have the potential to be talked about, go viral and generate PR, and ultimately drive people to the LEGO Stores again and again. Ideas will be judged upon fulfilling these objectives. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY LEGO Group was recently ranked as the world s largest toy maker by Time Magazine, but being in the leadership position is not a reason to be complacent. LEGO Group sells the majority of their toys through classic retailers, both in-store and online. In the last years LEGO Group has been investing into building their own global network of more than 120 stores (both classic yellow and flagship stores) to date. Having their own retail locations allows the LEGO Group to connect with shoppers and children directly, build the brand (think of Apple stores) and allow for true hands-on play and experience to take place. THE LEGO PLAYBOX The LEGO Playbox is the first major idea created by the LEGO Group for the purpose of in-store engagement. It was launched in April 2015 in all European stores and currently operates in four North American stores as a test. The LEGO Playbox is a toolkit used by the store employees to foster engagement with shoppers and children. It contains basic LEGO bricks and elements that are built to create a real maze, elements to play topple tower and allow children to build anything they imagine with the help of customizable story starter sheets. We know children love competition, so games like How many LEGO minifigures can you build in a minute? and Whose LEGO Race Car will go faster and further? can fuel this need. See supplemental material for more information.
BE THE PLAYFUL ONE CREATE GREAT SHOPPING EXPERIENCES. TARGET GROUP The two most important demographics for LEGO Brand Retail: shoppers and children. LEGO Brand Retail is looking for creating an environment that is fun, engaging and unique for shoppers and children together. Neglecting any one of these two would not sustain the great shopping experience that LEGO Group desires to deliver to its shoppers globally. THE LEGO SHOPPER PROMISE Create a relevant and consistently awesome LEGO Experience on every shopping mission. BRAND PURPOSE Fuel creativity and imagination. BRAND CHARACTER Imagination, Fun, Learning, Caring, Quality, Creativity. BRAND MISSION Inspire and develop the Builders of Tomorrow. BRAND SLOGAN Joy of building. Pride of creation. THE TASK (CHOOSE ONE OR SEVERAL OF THESE TASKS) 1. Develop a Logo, branding material and communication ideas around the LEGO Playbox. 2. Create a new game for the LEGO Playbox, or expand one of the existing in-store games into the digital universe. 3. Develop new ideas that create awesome shopping experiences at LEGO Stores, according to the above mentioned business objectives. DO S Must be realizable globally. Must involve LEGO Bricks, elements and minifigures. Must target shoppers and children. Must be engaging for a larger community. DON TS Avoid using Legoland (though it is a brand, Merlin owns the park business). Avoid using predictable building events. Avoid individualization of the product.
BE THE PLAYFUL ONE CREATE GREAT SHOPPING EXPERIENCES. MEDIA ASSIGNMENTS (All assignments are based on the main brief) LOGO DESIGN (SINGLE OR CAMPAIGN OF 3-5 PIECES): Create a logo that can represent the LEGO Playbox. Present the design in both full-color and grayscale versions. BRAND COLLATERAL DESIGN (SINGLE OR CAMPAIGN OF 3-5 PIECES): Consider (but not limited to) point-of-purchase posters, fliers, shopping bags or displays promoting the LEGO Playbox, materials inside the LEGO Playbox (brochures/leaflets with play directives and story starters or anything else you think fits) and of course the box itself. Entries may create a new logo for the LEGO Playbox. GAME DESIGN: Develop a game which can be integrated into the LEGO Playbox. This can be a physical game or physical with digital elements (remember: the interaction with actual LEGO bricks has to be a major part!). It should be engaging, easy-to-learn for the target group and ideally work with groups. EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN AND PROMOTION: Think of something which creates memorable experiences for shoppers in the LEGO Stores. Consider (but not limited to) interactive installations, ambient installations, floor graphics, signage, digital screens, live stunts, competitions and events. All ideas should be innovative, engaging and fun. However, they can go into two directions: scalable for all LEGO Stores worldwide or special one-off ideas which are likely to go viral and generate PR for the LEGO Stores. OTHER IN-STORE IDEAS: In this category, you are free to use any media and create anything, aligning with the business objectives. All ideas have to take place in the LEGO Stores.
