As part of a comprehensive rethink of its experiential portfolio, Lego had the opportunity to reinvent its flagship Comic-Con property as a magnet for brand lovers, as a sound stage, and as a media-generating juggernaut.
Through a series of activations, fans generated a digital LEGO minifig of themselves via a custom app, built it live from assorted parts, and created a custom 10-page comic book of their minifig in action. The environment also served as the backdrop for streaming interviews with master builders and influencers.
