Lego spent under £2,500 on Ads with Daily Mail for 2 years

A source near the Daily Mail said it has no record of the computerized cost and the limited time space that kept running in Scotland was an in-house promotion for a stock giveaway, not a paid-for advertisement. That would mean the toy-creator went through nothing on promotions with the Mail in 2015 and 2016.

The Sun is said to have been quick to do an arrangement with Lego in the past when it missed out to the Mail.

Lego's choice to end its organization with the Mail is probably going to be a hit to the paper – not slightest as a result of the negative reputation.

Mail supervisors are probably going to be stressed that different publicists may feel weight to take after Lego by dropping limited time movement, albeit no brand has done as such yet.

Quit Funding Hate has utilized online networking to approach John Lewis and others to quit promoting in the Mail.
