LEGO x McLaren Formula 1

A licensed motorsport launch built for fans of the sport and fans of the build in equal measure.

Context

A motorsport licence brings two fandoms together. Racing audiences want authenticity and detail; the core brand audience wants the joy of building.

The Idea

Lead with craft — the engineering detail that makes the build feel like the car — and let motorsport culture carry the reach.

My Role

  • Led ANZ digital and content planning for the launch
  • Adapted global assets and story for the local market
  • Coordinated retail, PR and partner touchpoints
  • Managed creative and social delivery with agency partners

Execution

  • Craft-led content series highlighting design detail
  • Motorsport-timed social and community activity
  • Retail launch support with clear hero product story
  • Partner and PR amplification around the reveal

Public-Safe Impact

  • A launch that read as credible to motorsport audiences
  • Content engagement across social platforms
  • Clear local expression of a global licensed partnership

Selected commercial results available privately on request.
