About the Work
For over 30 years Lunchables has let kids build their lunch, their way. But in 2022 we inspired them to build not just lunch but anything in the world.
We designed over 25 different food builds, showing kids they could make anything—from dinosaurs to bulldozers to SpongeBob SquarePants—using just our product.
But we didn’t stop there. We rebuilt our entire e-commerce site and, for the first time in the brand’s history, sold Lunchables not by flavor, but by the build. You could order a cat. Or a bulldozer. And get the packs and blueprints needed to build them yourself.
Then to inspire kids to build the world around them, we brought our Lunchabuilds to the world. Media and creative worked hand in hand to create a contextual 360-degree campaign, showing up where we knew that kids would see them.
We took over public transit with giant bus wraps to make buses look like they were made out of Lunchables. Then we partnered with the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago and put an 18-foot-high “Lunchabear” next to the real bears. At the MLB at Field of Dreams baseball game, kids could run around a huge Lunchables baseball diamond. And at Marvel’s Ant-Man red-carpet premiere, fans could ride a massive Lunchables ant.
Every ad was contextual—bike racks featured “Lunchabikes,” sidewalk ads featured “Lunchascooters” and we even turned “Philosoraptor” memes on Reddit into Lunchables dinosaurs.
But this wasn’t just advertising. Every ad could be scanned to order that build instantly from our site, giving you the packs and blueprints needed to build it yourself. This made for a seamless brand experience: See a Lunchables bear. Order that bear. Eat that bear.
