The video series appeared on YouTube Ads Leaderboardtwo months in a row.In essence, this meant having a series of videos linked together via end-cards, both to accommodate the ranking algorithm of YouTube and to keep the user invested.Įxample of a fail scenario: Owen trying to fit Blue into a chopper. The ‘fails’ presented the result of the wrong choice in a funny way while guiding the viewer onwards to the main path. We did this by having entertaining ‘fail’ scenarios and also avoiding backtracking, so that the story always moved forward. We wanted to create a consistently positive experience where the ‘wrong’ choice was just as rewarding as the ‘right’ one. To keep people engaged and not drop out of the story, we created a flow that would take the user on an engaging journey through multiple scenarios, each of them ending with the user having to actively make a choice on how to proceed. We mapped out the key scenes of the movie and their location on the island of Isla Nuba in order to be able to reference our products in an authentic setting, capturing the DNA of the IP.

In addition to creating a positive experience for the user, this behaviour plays very well with YouTube’s indexing algorithms because of the longer sessions it encourages. This meant that the users became active participants in the storytelling rather than passive recipients of content. We created a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ narrative flow called Rescue Blue that took the user on a journey through several videos, each of which ended by asking them to decide how the story should continue if dinosaur, Blue, was to be saved from the impending danger of an erupting volcano. We were faced with a target group that, because of their use of computer games and online platforms, expect entertainment, surprise and, not least, that they are in control and in the centre of it all, no matter what they do. The challenge was to maintain the essence of Jurassic World and recreate the mood of the film's universe, but at the same time transform it into an engaging experience for children – all while remaining true to the LEGO brand. ![]() Continuing our 45-year relationship as global lead agency for LEGO, Advance was assigned to communicate the new LEGO Jurassic World product line on the preferred platform for kids, YouTube.
