“There’s something about Christmas” (as the annual Barry’s Tea Christmas radio ad opens with every year). This time of year seems to pique the emotional part of our brain, leaving us more open to being brought on a sentimental journey that drives our anticipation even more. Brands have been capitalizing on this for years through some hugely emotive advertising campaigns. In most cases this involves a cute soundtrack combined with a brief misty-eyed story and a conclusion that makes us feel like all is good in the world - if only for 60 seconds. But if we’re honest, even for the most cynical of us, when this is done well, we’re all in. Who doesn’t still get stirred up by the annual Guinness ad appearance or quickly googles the latest John Lewis Christmas ad as soon as it’s dropped (we’re still not sure about the latest iteration though). But emotionally driven storytelling by brands at Christmas isn’t simply confined to advertising. A few years back, we had the opportunity to create and tell a Christmas story for real for our client 7UP. We offered one lucky winner the opportunity to surprise a friend with a White Christmas. Though not an ad it was no less emotional providing a genuine reaction and some beautiful candid moments. On a week when the cold weather seemed to arrive in tandem with most Christmas marketing campaigns, this video seems apt. So why not take a moment again to feel like all is good in the world - if only for 60 seconds. #Christmas #7UP #CreativeActionAgency #emotionalstorytelling

In our latest blog (and our final one for 2024), John Horgan explores two very different approaches to Christmas advertising.
