šŸŽļø LEGO just pulled off the best marketing campaign in years by partnering with Formula 1

Before you read this section, watch F1’s YouTube video on the driver’s racing themselves… it is amazing!

LEGO’s recent collab with Formula 1 at the Miami Grand Prix was marketing magic.

They hosted an immersive event featuring a life-sized McLaren F1 car made entirely of LEGO bricks - right in the heart of the action.

It blended speed, creativity, and nostalgia in a way that pulled in both kids and die-hard racing fans.

Why it worked:

Cultural crossover: F1 is having a moment, and LEGO tapped in at just the right time.

Experiential = shareable: The full-size LEGO car was made for Instagram.

Multi-gen appeal: It hit families, fans, and influencers all at once.

Marketing takeaway: Great campaigns don’t just sell products… they create moments that stay top of mind.

LEGO didn’t just show up to Miami - they built something unforgettable.
