This short ad copy has been hailed by critics as hitting the spot for targeting Gen Z with lots of young people taking to social media to ascertain where exactly they can purchase Grealish\u2019s coat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Disney\u2019s new film, \u2018The Stepdad\u2019 sees a blended family celebrating Christmas, and follows the journey of the Stepdad being accepted into the family by the son, Max, in a heartwarming sequel to last year&#8217;s film \u2018From our family to yours\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">One of our personal favourites, ALDI\u2019s film, marks the return of Kevin the Carrot in an emotive allusion to a famous Christmas Carol. ALDI branded character Ebanana Scrooge is shown the true meaning behind Christmas by Kevin while meeting other personas along the way including the utterly punnily brilliant, Marcus Radishford (whoever did that needs a raise). Tag line \u2018to be happy you have to be kind\u2019 aligns with the supermarket\u2019s CSR partnership with Neighbourly, where they have pledged to donate 1.8million meals to families in need this Christmas.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embedly-embed\" title=\"YouTube embed\" src=\"\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FVcIK6yVJQvE%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVcIK6yVJQvE&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FVcIK6yVJQvE%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=61d05c9d54e8455ea7a9677c366be814&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">When asking our community which ad had won in their hearts, however, there was still a strong love for Coca Cola with nearly <strong>40%<\/strong> citing it as their winner so far for 2021. Coca-Cola\u2019s two and half minute film this year shows a young boy piecing together cardboard boxes to make a chimney so that gifts can still be delivered &#8211; as clearly not everyone in the modern age has a chimney. His mission sees the community club together to donate boxes &#8211; something very prevalent at the time of the Covid 19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Amazon fared pretty well too, with <strong>20%<\/strong> of our community respondents citing that they loved this year\u2019s instalment from the mass e-commerce brand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Perhaps it is a brand affinity to Coca-Cola, or maybe it is the iconic nature of their ads that have our Gen Z consultants excited about their films year-on-year. Either way, there is a definite trend in wholesome, relatable and emotive storytelling coming through in this year&#8217;s favourites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gen Z on the most wonderful time of the \u2018ad-land\u2019 year.
