Everything Is Awesome, Even When It's Not, in Discover Card's Tie-In With The Lego Movie 2

The Lego Movie franchise is very brand friendly—perhaps not surprisingly, given the movies have a brand in their very titles. 

Following the incredible Turkish Airlines safety video, The Lego Movie 2 has struck another brand partnership, as Discover Card has rolled out its own (more modest) creative campaign connected to the sequel, courtesy of The Martin Agency. 

The 30-second spot below, starring Wyldstyle, who misses her credit-card payment because she’s tied up with the apocalyptic Duplo invasion of Bricksburg, is Discover Card’s first partnership ever with a major motion picture. 

The spot will run online and in theaters. The Lego Movie 2 opens Feb. 8.

“We wanted to go beyond the typical studio co-promotion, so by combining Discover’s brand promise of treating their customers like they’d treat themselves and Lego’s cultural relevance, we hope to bring powerful new energy to the campaign,” says Kevin Ragland, creative director at The Martin Agency.
