Sorry, I Spent It On Myself - Harvey Nichols Christmas 2013

This is the season for self-indulgence! This Christmas, a little something for them means a bigger something for you. So whilst shopping at Harvey Nichols for the festive season why not pick up a pack of Toothpicks to gift a loved one, and perhaps a pair of Louboutins for yourself (what else are you going to wear to the Christmas party?) Christmas cooks will thank you for a See-Through Glass Salt Cellar (salt not included) and show your appreciation for their hard work by looking seriously stylish for Christmas lunch in a new Lanvin dress.

Lool this is sooo funny! I wish I could do the same thing for myself, but I might pop-up to HN just for a purpose of playing a joke on someone haha. Also I like it as it has a clear exposure of HN in the ad. So nice, well done :)

Christmas Ads 2013

Year on year Christmas ads are released earlier and earlier. I still feel like being in the beginning of November and some of the companies have already released their Christmas commercials. Weird. Last year they came out slightly later.

Well.. I honestly understand the fact that people are getting better with their planning and are already buying Christmas gifts (yep it's true), so it makes sense due to this fact to release ads earlier. But.. do we really want to see same commercials for 2 months? Are we nor gonna get tired of them pretty soon? Well, will see. But in the meantime, I've decided to post what has already been released last week.
Enjoy!

So the first one I've seen this year was - Aldi
Honestly, this is the type of ads I do hate and I think Aldi could do MUCH better...

Marmite London Christmas Campaign

More and more brands are integrating digital with offline events. Have a look what's Marmite doing :)

Iconic British spread Marmite has launched a pre-Christmas campaign for its Gold version in London encompassing both social media and DOOH channels to give its fans a munite of fame.

As a first stage, Marmite invited all its fans (and even foes) to have some fun with its new app allowing to submit users’ photos which then appear on a large digital screen of the famous Christmas lights on Oxford Street.

In a second phase of Marmite’s photo fun, curious shoppers starting November 26 can pop in at the roadside photo booth equipped at the Selfridges’ bus stop, take pictures of themselves expressing love or hate to the brand, and again, become famous for a moment, having their photo appeared on the digital screen (of course, at night only).

The photo booth will be interactive for 12 days of the 4-week long ad campaign, and when not active will display a humorous gallery of images of all the fans or foes of Marmite that have been submitted via Facebook.
