How Lego Rebuilt Its Brand Brick by Brick
from Building Brands with Fexingo: Identity, Reputation, and Long-Term Business Equity · host Fexingo
In this episode of Building Brands with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into Lego's remarkable turnaround story. After posting a $240 million loss in 2004, the company was over-diversified into action figures and theme parks. New CEO Jørgen Vig Knudstorp refocused on the core brick, streamlined operations, and rebuilt the brand around creativity and systematic innovation. They explore how Lego leveraged fan communities, the success of the Lego Movie, and the architecture of their brand portfolio—from Lego City to Lego Ideas. This episode shows how a brand can recover from near-collapse by returning to its core identity, all while expanding thoughtfully into digital and licensing. A playbook for any company facing brand drift. #Lego #BrandTurnaround #JørgenVigKnudstorp #LegoMovie #Creativity #BrandIdentity #BusinessStrategy #Licensing #FanCommunity #LegoIdeas #LegoCity #TurnaroundStory #Innovation #BrandDrift #Business #BrandBuilding #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
