As the weather begins to cool and Christmas songs slowly start to pop up in retailers across the UK, Debenhams has taken its first festive leap into the gift-giving season with its new 2018 Christmas campaign.
The campaign - which has been teased in short clips on Facebook and Instagram - is a celebration of gift giving, with the strapline ‘do a bit of you know you did good’ a playful nod to the UK retailer’s ‘do a bit of Debenhams’ - an Autumn campaign that celebrates the joys of shopping. The new campaign will be available across TV, digital, print, and social media.
The four 20-second clips depict the moment an eager gift giver relishes in the realisation that they’ve made the perfect choice for a loved one, and features the 1981 hit Star by English singer Kiki Dee. The teasers are online this week, before the full debut of the campaign is aired on TV on Friday 9 November on Channel 4.
A festive celebration of gift giving
Richard Cristofoli, Debenhams managing director of beauty and marketing, said in a statement: “Shoppers told us that the real joy of shopping comes from discovering the gift that you know the recipient is going to really love. We wanted to celebrate that moment.
Cristofoli continued: “Department stores occupy a unique position in that they enable consumers to shop a variety of gifts under one roof. With shoppers having to buy as many as 20 gifts for family and friends, we wanted to share a fist pump with the gifter rather than the giftee and celebrating those shoppers with the confidence of ‘do a bit of you know you did good’.”
