Tesco
Unstoppable Christmas
Capabilities:
Tesco’s 2021 Christmas campaign “won Christmas” (according to Forbes) – and delivered market-leading results.
Here's how we tapped into the UK’s indomitable spirit to surpass expectations for 2022.
7th
consecutive Christmas of UK growth
2021 wasn’t just impacted by new lockdowns and continued uncertainty around the Covid situation: people’s shopping behaviours were reverting to pre-Covid habits, which had the potential to impact Tesco negatively.
And as there was no longer one shared Covid experience, it was uniquely challenging to plan a Christmas campaign that would be both relevant and resonant to the nation.
We focused on the one thing that wouldn’t change: the nation’s defiant resolution to have a joyful Christmas, no matter what.
“This Christmas, Nothing’s Stopping Us” – a celebration of the nation’s joyful defiance and determination.
Across TV, radio, print, and social media we showed that whatever we’re faced with this Christmas, nothing will stop us from making the most of it.
