Background

As for many brands at this time of the year, there is a double objective for any Xmas campaign. A sales objective: related to gifts that we offer during holidays. And a brand image objective: Xmas is a crucial time to strengthen proximity between brand and its audience. The challenge was real, because even if brands objectives are rather close for Xmas, it is necessary to establish a different territory and storytelling in order to emerge between all these communications.

Describe the creative idea

A brand has to maintained an honest speech if it wants to be closer to its audience. We tried to raise a sincere and a conniving eye on annual celebrations. Between mall shopping, getting the meal ready, family reunions and all related anxiety…if we are honest, Xmas is far from being an easy period. But there is a moment when anybody can find again this Xmas wonder: The gifts moment. Gifts have the power to make us forget all inconveniences endured during this period. Especially Orange's gifts.
