LEGO BRICKMAN EXPERIENCE

Press Launch for family toy event

Made from over five million LEGO® bricks, the Brickman Experience showcases some of the world’s largest LEGO® models created by Ryan McNaught, a certified LEGO® professional. The interactive family exhibition opened in the UK for the first time in Leicester in March 2020.

Our Role

  • Generate publicity ahead of the exhibition to drive pre-sales
  • Set up and manage a pre-launch media day and interviews with the Brickman

We also staged a photoshoot at the exhibition as well as in front of famous landmarks within Leicester city centre.
