  • LEGO: Trademark Campaign

    There are many imitation construction bricks on the Chinese toy market, so we helped LEGO draw attention to the real deal by producing a humorous PSA video campaign. The campaign highlights the unique features of LEGO toys through exploded-view CG animations of the four most popular construction sets in China. During the animated disassemblance, slow motion shots draw attention to the official LEGO trademark that mark its bricks.

    For Double 11 — the Chinese equivalent of Black Friday — we produced a mobile campaign promoting ALDI products in frozen-moment videos.

During these frozen moments, people can interact with the scene to see-and-shop the products through Tmall, an Alibaba subsidiary. To further broaden the campaign’s reach, it was completely integrated within WeChat,…

People could drive the car through stunning 3D surroundings, which we modelled after the campaign’s TVC in just 6 weeks. During their experience, drivers come across several challenges that can only be overcome with the next-gen technologies found in the X-Trail. But it’s not just a matter of looking around: everything you see can also be felt thanks to a robotic chair and 4D effects.
