When I was young, I wasn't allowed to watch a great deal of television but on the occasions that we did, my mother would always turn off the adverts or send us out of the room!We laugh about it now & she says that she didn't want us brainwashed by advertising....or asking her for endless toys etc.
These days if I'm watching television, advert time usually means time to get up & make a cup of tea or do something else very quickly.
I do love a clever ad though & have really enjoyed the TV advertising campaigns from M&S over the past year or so. Food photography is so tricky to get right but in their "Adventures in Food" campaign last year, we got to watch the tantalisingly delicious M&S food ads....colours so good that you could almost taste the food!
Likewise, their fashion ads....
from a previous campaign which featured dozens of windows & balconies occupied by dozens of models wearing gorgeously colourful M&S clothes to the current "The Art of....", their latest campaign.
The Art of....texture, transformation, toddling, style, wool, comfort & (as seen in the video below)....."disguise".
The Art of....focuses on fashion, focusing on style & quality, something that Marks & Spencer has always been known & loved for.The TV ads focus on the manufacturing process, the design & the unique look that makes this good old British brand instantly recognisable & such a staple in so many wardrobes, year after year.
There can't be many people who don't own a drawerful of M&S underwear/lingerie & their brilliantly designed ShapeWear & Magicwear is a must, the range is huge.Pretty & practical it promises to "smooth & lift, sculpt & flatter", who can say no to that?
