GoldieBlox Wins Intuit Small Business Big Game

This Sunday, more than 100 million people saw the first-ever small business commercial on the big game courtesy of Intuit Small Business Big Game, sponsored by Intuit QuickBooks. After tens of thousands of entries and millions of votes, GoldieBlox – an innovative toy company inspiring girls to push the limits and think outside the box through storytelling and basic engineering concepts – is the grand-prize winner. Its reward: an all expenses-paid commercial for the company that aired during the third quarter of the championship.

The 30-second television spot for GoldieBlox was produced by RPA, an independent fully integrated advertising agency based in Santa Monica, Calif. The concept brings the GoldieBlox mission to life, showing that girls can disrupt the status quo and envision their toys in a new way. The ad will serve as a rallying cry that all girls are more than just princesses. Carbon VFX joined in on the effort to give the piece its final look, handling clean up, sky replacement, and other finishing touches.
