This is pure genius. The Guardian has been extremely effective in building up their digital and social news ecosystem in the last years and is aggregating this in their new entertaining spot where they show us a modern remake of ‘Three Little Pigs’.
LEGO nowadays seems to know very well how to get their core brand values of imagination and creativity across. An excerpt from the brand helps to understand how LEGO understands these two values:
Imagination: Curiosity asks, ”Why?” and imagines explanations or possibilities (if.. then). Playfulness asks what if? and imagines how the ordinary becomes extraordinary, fantasy or fiction. Dreaming it is a first step towards doing it. Free play is how children develop their imagination – the foundation for creativity.
Creativity is the ability to come up with ideas and things that are new, surprising and valuable. Systematic creativity is a particular form of creativity that combines logic and reasoning with playfulness and imagination.
These values are very well displayed in the ads below. One, in this very well designed short film “The Brick Thief”:
Secondly in these new ads by Serviceplan, Munich (thanks to @ghensel for pointing me to them.)
“I imagine that we are living 20 years from now or 50 years from now and we’re reading a review. I often write the review of a concert that we’re supposed to have seen or has happened where we’ve seen 25 North African Arabic musicians who have a Japanese bandleader. And they’re playing a new kind of music called neagata(ph) machine techno, which appeared in the suburbs of Tokyo in the year 2020. And then I make a description of what that music is like and then we try to make it.”
