Kids Day 2013: bringing our "eyes of a child" approach to life.

Last week we threw open the doors and let 500 kids, ages 1-18, have the run of the place.

Our annual Kids Day featured countless client-themed activities, including Purina's Incredible Dog Show, McDonald's McFun Room with a visit by Ronald himself, Mean Stinks manicures and the highly interactive Digital Carnival. High school students were taken through an "advertising boot camp". Every child had the chance to design art that just might make its way into the Leo Shop and we even offered kids the opportunity to get personalized pitching instruction from former Chicago Cub player, Kerry Wood.

#SXLB: South By Leo Burnett

For the second consecutive year, we flew south to the Lone Star State to take over SXSW Interactive and host “South By Leo Burnett” or as we like to call it #SXLB. Our SXSW inspired video interview series featured a slew of lively conversations with key speakers and tech/creative/ad industry aficionados, and you can see it all right here.

Chicago Shakespeare Theater & The Art Institute of Chicago Present Live, Cultural Spectacle

To promote the Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s upcoming production, Sunday in the Park with George, we created a live, cultural spectacle at the Art Institute of Chicago. Georges Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884 appeared devoid of the central characters, leaving visitors puzzled by the strange new version. Museum guests were treated to a special musical performance by the cast of Sunday in the Park with George.
