Phwoh, here we go again.
Halloween is done and the Christmas adverts are dropping. How’s that feel. Things are really cranking up, so here’s a quick dip into the interesting things that passed our desk over the past couple of months that we thought might interest you.
- Yahoo
- Adidas
- Paddy Power's
- Walkers Crisps
- Adobe
- Gruen

Adidas is on a journey to shift from marketing efficiency to marketing effectiveness, admitting a focus on ROI led it to over-invest in digital and performance marketing at the expense of brand building.

UK Bookmakers Paddy Power’s have Scottish musician Lewis Capaldi at 1/2 odds on favourite to be featured in the 2019 John Lewis Christmas Campaign. While you’re here – just watch the 2013 The Bear & the Hare again, because #feels.

While we’re on Christmas Advertising, we’ve started to see them trickle out – loving this Walkers Crisps with the spirit of Christmas, Mariah Carey.

facebook rebrands as FACEBOOK … for clarity.

Russel Howcroft likened our pitch on Gruen to this 1988 British Rail advert – we hadn’t seen it – but it’s a feast.
Extra, extra!
