Autumn Winter 2013 gets the Littlewoods Touch

The nights are drawing in, and as we mourn the end of summer, it's time to get excited about the glow of Autumn and wrapping up from the cold.

Today we launched our Autumn Winter advert for Littlewoods! Set at a beautiful traditional fairground, Myleene Klass is back to give her "Littlewoods Touch" and we have a cameo appearance from Goodsouls brand ambassador and TV presenter Mark Wright. The soundtrack is by up and coming singer Arlissa and is called "Into the Light" and you can watch it from the image below.

The advert showcases the fantastic pieces available in the AW13 women’s fashion range as well as featuring key items from the children’s and men’s collections. Myleene travels through the fairground, giving the "Littlewoods Touch" to transform outfits from casual day to sumptuous nightwear. We've got all the trimmings - a coconut shy, candy floss stand, a beautiful Victorian style steam carousel and a   Test Your Strength Machine, which is where she meets Mark Wright. 

It was a fantastic set, and we definitely got involved with the carousel while shooting! Myleene and Mark also appeared to enjoy themselves, as they got involved with the Behind the Scenes film which you can watch here.

Our display at St Luke's has also joined in with the occasion, and features candy floss, coconuts, sweeties, yellow ducks and fairy lights!

Abra-abra cadabra - Littlewoods Kids goes live!

If the enjoyment and success of filming our latest Littlewoods advert for their Ladybird children's range is anything to go by, then the oft-quoted phrase "never work with children or animals" is a load of old codswallop. We loved it.

A cast of excitable, playful and very cute 4 to 7 year olds are the stars of our latest ad which launched on August 1st. It's a throwback to a traditional children’s party, primarily set in a beautiful garden - where computers, phones and gadgets are replaced by pass the parcel, blind mans buff and general frolicking and dancing. Unfortunately for our ears, they wanted to dance to Gangnam Style on repeat between takes. Director Karen Cunningham said “The idea was to create an old fashioned party… back to lovingly made jelly, and cupcakes and beautifully homemade birthday cake.” During the ad, a very cute "mini Myleene", played by Evie Lew-Davies, magically touches the other party guests making their outfits transform into a second stylish outfit from the Ladybird collection, showcasing their fantastic range. When all the work is done "mini Myleene" transforms into adult Myleene Klass to give the final Littlewoods touch.

                           

 The soundtrack is the ridiculously catchy Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band, and the campaign will be supported by online, social media and print ads. We're excited to continue working with Littlewoods in their aim to become the biggest suppliers of quality children’s clothing in the UK.


Ch-ch-check it out in the image above.

Summer 2013 gets the Littlewoods Touch.

A sun soaked Thai beach, glistening ocean and tropical palm trees provide the stunning backdrop for our Littlewoods Spring Summer 2013 TV advert. 

Launched today, this is Littlewoods’ first Spring Summer campaign in four years, and also marks the launch of Myleene Klass’ first ever swimwear collection – so we had to make it special. 

White sand and azure water were non-negotiable.
                                

The ad (click above to view), which has both 30 and 40 second spots, shows women enjoying their daytime socialising and dancing together around a beach bar. Myleene joins each of them to give her ‘Littlewoods Touch’, transforming their bikinis and swimsuits into fantastic maxi dresses, cover-ups and accessories from the collection. The girls are instantly ready to go from beach to bar, showing that Littlewoods makes the highly desirable summer looks affordable through their low weekly payments.

The Shazam-enabled ad allows viewers to unlock extra interactive content and the Emeli Sande  “Wonder” track on their smartphones. It'll be on your TV screens and in cinemas over the coming weeks, and is guaranteed to make you yearn even more for your summer holiday. I can smell the sunscreen already!
 

 
We let our new campaigns take over the Reception display here at St Luke’s and this is no exception. A snorkel, rubber ring and sun hat have joined a conch, beach cocktail glasses and framed stills from the shoot to welcome visitors to the agency. And to make us think summery thoughts each time we pass to greet a client or make a cup of tea!

Feel free to let us know what you think!
