BIG W has launched its new Christmas campaign – Make a Little Magic.
Developed by M&C Saatchi Sydney, the film features a young boy, known as “Santa Hands” who magically turns everyday objects Christmassy.
The 60-second film follows the story of a young boy named Noel who has the ability to make Christmas all year round.
That is not always a good thing, offering up some humorous problems resulting from his special gift.
Donnelly, creative director, M&C Saatchi: “If a jolly big man in a red suit can squeeze down a chimney and reindeer fly, why can’t an Aussie kid bring Christmas magic to life through their hands? Santa hands is a fun story that demonstrates that we can all have the ability to create a little magic come Christmas.”
Claire West, head of marketing – brand and strategy at BIG W added: “After a tough couple of years, we’re dialling up the magic of the festive season in a fun and very Australian way. Noel is the playful embodiment of BIG W, the retailer which helps Christmas lovers around the country bring a little magic into their celebrations. We have everything you need from bon bons to big brand gifts, fam jams to festive tableware, and all at an exceptional value from just $1.”
