CHI&Partners: Argos 'Ready For Take-Off'
Agency: CHI&Partners
Client: Argos
Date: November 2017
Argos has launched its 2017 Christmas advertising campaign, transporting millions of viewers to a magical Argos distribution centre where a troupe of Argos elves are helping Santa to deliver hundreds of thousands of gifts across the country at record speed on bright red super-sleighs.
The advert, created by CHI&Partners and directed by Gary Freedman, features a futuristic rocket-powered super-sleigh ready to take off on its mission across the country. The action shifts gear as one child’s long-awaited Christmas present, a Teksta voice-recognition robotic puppy, is found wandering the aisles by an elf. The quick-thinking elf scans it in at the elf station to reveal its intended recipient on-screen, Tom, aged nine, whose family’s gifts are departing from gate nine.
This leads to a blockbuster-style chase across the distribution centre in which the elf pulls out all the stops to ensure the robotic puppy makes it to Tom in time for Christmas.
The advert celebrates Argos’s commitment to super speedy delivery.

Ogilvy & Mather London: Vodafone 'A Christmas Love Story'
Agency: Ogilvy & Mather London
Client: Vodafone
Date: November 2017
Martin Freeman has found himself embarrassed at a wedding and in a criminal mix-up in a car park in his tenure for Vodafone’s ads so far. Now the actor finds himself as the lead role in an epic love story for the telecom brand’s Christmas campaign, which has been built on subtle, self-deprecating humour to win favour with a UK audience.
A Christmas Love Story was created by WPP’s Team Red, creatively led by Ogilvy & Mather London. The saga is told across six pieces of content – two for TV and four for social – and begins with the hapless Freeman bonding with his love interest, Claire, over a love of It’s A Wonderful Life on a train station platform.
The ads were filmed on location in Scotland and were directed by Biscuit’s Jeff Lowe. As well as educating consumers on the benefits of Vodafone’s services, they also aim to highlight two new launches: new pay as you go product PayG 1 and Vodafone Passes, which gives pay monthly customers the chance to use their favourite video, social or chat apps without using up their data.
A Christmas Love Story features Vodafone’s new brand identity, which was unveiled globally last month. The spot launches tomorrow (1 November) and will be supported by above the line, social and digital executions.

VCCP: Canon 'Next Year is Coming. Be Ready'
Agency: VCCP
Client: Canon
Date: November 2017
As a brand, Canon wants to go behind the picture to find the stories that really resonate with its customers. It launched 'Live for the Story' in summer this year and the winter campaign is a continuation on this theme, creating emotional connections with its audience.
VCCP has launched the new campaign 'Next Year is Coming, Be Ready' The series of films and photographs showcase the moments just before something happens. Each story, shot in slow motion at 100 frames per second on a Canon C700 camera, builds up the sense of anticipation – from a driveway basketball about to land in the hoop, or a snowball in motion to a baby tasting lemon for the first time.
The print campaign, shot by photographer David Harriman, captures the instant just before the action happens, inspiring viewers to create their own moments. The filmed stories, directed by Jack Whiteley and produced by Rattling Stick, close the loop on the narrative by showing what happens next.
This is a fully integrated campaign across print, online content, digital, social, PR, CRM and in-store/retail. The creative will run across EMEA until mid-January and is pitched as a winter campaign. The stylistically minimal imagery is a contrast to the Christmas noise, encouraging consumers to look beyond the holidays and at what might happen in 2018.

Proximity London: Guide Dogs 'Boxing Day'
Agency: Proximity London
Client: Guide Dogs
Date: October 2017
Proximity has created two new TV ads for Guide Dogs’ iconic Sponsor A Puppy brand: a Christmas ad, and an ad that will run throughout the rest of the year.
The two 60-second spots build on the success of last year’s ‘Who knew’ ad and were directed by Morgan Hutchins and produced by Arthur & Martha.
Both ads feature Inspirational Guide Dog Owner of the Year, Louise Jenkins from Wales, who went blind in her 40s following a spinal infection.
‘Boxing Day’ highlights a festive plunge that has become an annual ritual for Louise and her dog, Trinity, whereas ‘Twins’ directly contrasts Louise’s life with someone else who has suffered sudden catastrophic sight loss yet hasn’t got a guide dog.

krow communications: DFS 'Joy of Home'
Agency: krow communications
Client: DFS
Date: November 2017
Krow has created a new Christmas campaign for sofa retailer DFS. Using the iconic, hand-crafted Aardman characters that first broke with DFS’s Christmas delivery ad last November, this year’s ad focuses on the fact that Autumn and Winter Collection sofas are currently up to half price, with many guaranteed to arrive before Christmas.
The campaign runs across TV, press and digital, including online video and social, with the 30-second spot running for five weeks across all major TV channels.
The film, entitled ‘Joy of Home’, follows real DFS employees Dom and Will as they deliver sofas and joy to customers’ homes.
Having diligently handed a variety of new sofas to a selection of delighted customers, all preparing to celebrate Christmas, Dom looks longingly out of his van’s window. His family are overjoyed to see him, having been waiting on the sofa for him to return, when he finally lets himself into his own home. There is an emphasis on the idea of being at home for Christmas and the film ends as Dom, his wife, Stephanie, and son Noah all enjoy a happy moment on their own DFS sofa.
The campaign is the seventh for DFS featuring Aardman designed characters, which are based on real employees of the sofa company.
Media planning and buying was handled by Mediacom.

CHI & Partners: Lexus Europe 'The Art of Standing Out'
Agency: CHI & Partners
Client: Lexus Europe
Date: October 2017
Lexus Europe has released ‘The Art of Standing Out’, a campaign that brings to life both modern and classic works in juxtaposing – and clever – everyday scenarios.
The flagship spot by The&Partnership’s CHI&Partners follows a Lexus NX driving through a cityscape. From the perspective of the passenger, the viewer sees Vermeer’s ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ hand her luggage to a bellboy outside a hotel before an inflatable shaped like Jeff Koon’s ‘Balloon Dog’ escapes the clutches of a young boy.
Elsewhere the car drives past a façade painted with Mondrian’s ‘Composition A’, as well as a shoe store decorated with a real-life vase filled with Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’.
After passing Georges Seurat’s ‘Bathers at Asnieres’, the drive ends at a 1940s diner: a full scale recreation of Edward Hopper’s ‘Nighthawks’.

Otherway London: 45 Jermyn St. 'Dandyism'
Agency: Otherway London
Client: 45 Jermyn St.
Date: October 2017
As 45 Jermyn St. turns two, it worked with design agency Otherway to mark the occasion with a series of playful new illustrations on its menus.
Wanting a bold, bright and extraordinary update, Otherway worked with Dutch artist and illustrator Zeloot to capture a modern interpretation of the Jermyn St. icon, Beau Brummell. 45 Jermyn St is a restaurant where a sense of theatre, fun and glamour mingle, and the illustrations by Zeloot capture that spirit, combining real joie de vivre colour and creativity, while remaining beautifully crafted and elegant.
The illustrations bring different stories to life of a contemporary Beau Brummell. Today’s flamboyant Beau can be seen ‘smoking’ bubbles, catching the beauty of butterflies, proudly donning a peacock feathered suit and the ice-cream inspired ‘sundae’ best. The 45 logo, a unique brand ambigram marque inspired by the archive craftmanship marques found on Jermyn Street, is presented in each piece.
