Award-Winning Campaigns

Loctite’s Museum of Second Chances

• A live mosaic artwork constructed in real-time using Loctite glue by Melbourne artist Eric Sesto
• A curated display of influencer Candy Brat’s viral craft creations, bridging TikTok culture with real-world artistry

Anemicke Du Plessis, Loctite Brand Manager, emphasized that the campaign celebrates the art of repair and the meaningful stories behind cherished items. Kill Boring Dead described the initiative as “a love letter to craft, memory and repair,” highlighting how repair can be as inspiring as starting anew.
