Immediate says the campaign will showcase the joy of building and creating with LEGO, across its passion-led brands, including BBC Gardeners’ World, Radio Times, Good Food, BBC Top Gear, and MadeForMums.
According to Immediate, the multi-platform campaign will include video, social, digital, and print content, and live experiences, demonstrating parents and grandparents spending quality time with their children and grandchildren. Children will share what brings them joy and their love for LEGO highlighting different LEGO sets and tying into key gifting moments.
'Share What You Love' aims to engage the millions of parents, grandparents, and families across the UK who access Immediate’s content, including 3.8 million parents with children aged 4-12.
Immediate says key campaign highlights include:
- "Share What You Love" video series: A series showcasing children's creativity as they lead the way in building and imagining with LEGO. These videos capture children's LEGO-building experiences in a professional studio setting, joined by their parents.
- Bespoke LEGO content hub: A central digital hub housing new and existing LEGO content, organised by passion-based categories. Features include a "Which LEGO Set Should You Gift?" generator and a UGC competition for children to showcase their LEGO creations.
- Print advertorials and box outs: DPS advertorials in BBC Gardeners’ World, BBC Top Gear, and Radio Times, alongside quarterly box-outs featuring children's reviews of relevant topics and LEGO sets.
- Experiential activations: A bespoke LEGO-themed Beautiful Border garden at BBC Gardeners' World Live and LEGO Creation Stations at Immediate's Hampton Court Palace Festivals.
- Amplified digital reach: Digital contextual takeovers and social media drivers to maximise campaign reach and drive traffic to the content hub.
The publisher says the campaign was developed by Publicis and Immediate’s content studio, Imagine, who oversaw its creative strategy, development and execution. This includes crafting creative assets to inspire gifting and creation with LEGO.
According to Sam Pietrasiewicz, head of partnerships at Immediate: "Whether it’s a love of motoring or a passion for their garden, the joy of cooking or favourite TV shows, our brands provide joyful content based on people’s passions and interests. We know our audience are keen to share those passions with loved ones including children and grandchildren. The campaign will emphasise the power of shared passions in bringing generations together, with LEGO serving as the perfect medium for creative bonding and joyful experiences.”
The 'Share What You Love' campaign will run until the end of the year.
