Good morning and welcome to Marketing Week’s round-up of the news that matters in the marketing world today.
The 140-second ad, which tells the story of Elton John’s life after he received a piano for Christmas, marks a change in creative direction for the retailer although keeps its festive positioning focused on thoughtful giving.
From dancing turkeys and baubles, to fairy lights and a plug, Sainsbury’s is hoping its theatrical festive ad will inspire the nation to ‘give all we’ve got for the ones we love’.
At the end of every week, we look at the key stories, offering our view on what they mean for you and the industry. From Elon Musk sacking Tesla’s 40-strong marketing team to McDonald’s shining a light on the power of ‘stillness’, it’s been a busy week. Here is my take.
