interesting insight - "we make the toy that makes the toys" kind of a thing, but can we please just let LEGO go for a year or two?

yeah this would be a better ad for LEGO showing what the kid would rather play with.

weak. this ad tells me that lego is a better toy than playdoh.

Basically its saying that something had to precede lego, and the person that created it, had to design it from something - and that was playdoh. Its basically the step before Lego. I think its interesting, but nothing to write home about!

you just reinforced the message "Lego is better"

this makes people think in 2 different ways, is that a healthy proposition for a brand?
lego said 'imagine', so playdoh says 'inspiring imagination'. this might get across a consumer's
psyche if one sees both of their ads closely. playdo's challenge here might get across the wrong message.
is it telling that start with playdoh and finally move up to lego?

Sorry, pero este aviso ya está hecho. Fue publicado en Chile, y siento que la ejecución está por debajo a la primera ejecución. Otra vez vemos una extraña coincidencia desde el oriente del planeta.

adjunto link donde está el aviso de chile

Can I get a DDB salary if I do ads like this?

I see. Playdough is the only toy you will ever need because you can create any other toy out of it. Too bad they chose a Lego block, maybe a more generic toy, like a teddy bear, or a video game console?

That's a good campaign idea. As a campaign it would be a winner!

the ads tags is the answer.
play-doh inspiring more imagination yet more flexible shapes.

The idea of this ad sound familiar with the one BurgerKing done before.
