Lidl Christmas ad 2023
The discount retailer tries to capture hearts with a little forest critter.
If we're completely honest, this one had us nodding off for a few seconds halfway through it.
It's very, very long - too long. Just shows you what good editing and pacing can do for the final version of an expensive ad.
It also could quite easily pass for a John Lewis-ad from about 5 years ago, so on that front too it's not differentiating the Lidl brand strongly enough to warrant the effort and expense.
A valiant effort, but painfully lacking in a proper strategic underpinning.
