MAA advert of the week: John Lewis will get Britain speaking once more


Someway it appears that evidently all’s proper with the (advert) world when John Lewis pulls a traditional Christmas marketing campaign out of the bag and reclaims its place on the high of the tree.

adam&eveDDB’s “The Newbie” makes use of a number of the retailer’s conventional tips, just like the build-up to the large reveal, however this 12 months John Lewis has damaged away from all these lookalikes of current years. It’s created a grown-up story with a genuinely shifting denouement and a rock strong charity initiative behind it.

Plus, for the primary time, the John Lewis advert isn’t fairly such a standalone piece – it appears to suit properly with the retailer’s ongoing “For all life’s moments” positioning.

It’s had numerous love on social media too, aside from a handful of the standard Twitter haters. In keeping with Sprout Social, it had gained 217m potential impressions and attracted 10,500 messages by the afternoon of day one, in comparison with second positioned Asda  (launched six days beforehand) with 118m and 7500 respectively.

There was a pleasant trade between @Specsavers and @JohnLewisRetail:

A lot has been manufactured from the problem of selling Christmas in a price of residing disaster, however the area is stronger this 12 months than it has been for some time, with extra manufacturers than standard doing their very own factor as an alternative of making one-note sentimental advertisements.

The retailers’ tales is perhaps tougher to inform after Christmas when the gross sales figures are in, however for now the funding in good artistic work is paying off. They don’t seem to be scrimping on the media budgets both – though the Christmas advert saturation throughout I’m a Superstar Get Me Out of Right here is getting a bit a lot.
