It’s a lot in production terms - guessing that’s what is being talked about - but no unheard of.
It’s not much in terms of media buy. If you can get something to go vira Ike these ads do then you don’t have to send much on media.

8 million is a pittance in marketing terms. John Lewis and Waitrose appeal to the middle class and above and that's who the ad is aimed at.
As Northern said, it made headlines.
For 8 million we got Hugill. Do the math.

The Mugler Alien advert cracks me up.
Pretentious and obviously done so cheap that the first shot was put in the can.

John Lewis and all the other brands that peddle their ridiculously extravagant "artistic" Christmas advertisements which try to sell a "message" (AKA 21st century PC bollocks agenda) sum up all that is wrong with Christmas these days.
It is yet another tradition that was hijacked many years ago by corporations as a means for brainwashing the plebs to needlessly spend, spend and spend some more.
Bah humbug!

Think you will find that those honourable members of Parliament will find it a useful advert, it reminds them where to go shopping for all those essentials that they put on their expenses that we pay for.

Just looked for a Christmas pudding for my tropical fish.
Absolutely nothing out there.
This is what they should be doing - looking for gaping gaps in the market.

These Christmas decoratingTHEMES wouldn't happen to be annual, would they? As in 'chuck out all your baubles and sundry gimcracks and buy a complete set of new stuff every year'?

Just asking whether the £8m is value for money or whether the whole thing Christmas ad thing has become some ad world wankfest. Lapped up by morons I know some ad campaigns (ie Jamie Oliver for Sainsbury’s) have demonstrated showing boosts in turnover and footfall. Do these? Just asking the question, Mr Millwall

Re: Edgar

So you are saying an ad which I believe features a child and a dragon (nothing about what is being sold) persuades people who hadn’t contemplated visiting John Lewis to do a bit of Christmas shopping to change their plans? Do you look at all these ads and plan your shopping for presents etc around which has the best ad? I still haven’t seen the ad but will be visiting John Lewis at some point.
I understand they don’t stock the Nude England Rugby Player 2020 Calendar so won’t be buying you a present this year. Soz.
