Interesting strategy. Borrowing - and then adopting the opposite approach to - the John Lewis ad that gripped the UK:

This goes BACKWARDS in time. Clever.
This has a minimal link with the product. Although I suppose it would be funny if the couple got thinner over the 30".
And this fails to have the nation 'weeping into its teacups'. Filling up their buckets, perhaps.

It also borrows the soundtrack from the John Lewis Christmas ad - the one that brought on accusation of dog abuse.

It's a twofer.

Just so everyone knows which ad you're talking about, it's the one with the worlds worst choice of soundtrack (those lyrics....).

The ad was embedded within the link - but boy, you're fast.
