On Thursday 20th May, in a strategic move to promote its new ANYDAY range, which offers John Lewis quality and style at everyday prices, John Lewis are launching an integrated … read morecampaign, with a TV advert at its heart. The new ANYDAY brand is a critical element of its turnaround strategy, which aims to grow market leadership across homeware, technology, baby care and baby clothing. The one minute TV advert, created by agency adam&eveDDB, will first be broadcast at 9pm during ITV’s Innocent this Thursday. The advert will communicate how the ANYDAY products are suitable for everyday life moments, and in a first for John Lewis, the advert will call out the price of the products which feature in the campaign including a £2 mug, a £20 mirror and a £35 highchair. As this range targets slightly younger customers and families who we know find inspiration from and shop on digital and social channels more than other customers, this campaign is more heavily weighted towards these media channels. The campaign will run in digital display ads, shop windows, on johnlewis.com and social media channels, and on the channels of our sister company Waitrose, which also sells ANYDAY products. The TV advert is inspired by situations which illustrate everyday life including: a sister cutting her brother’s hair in the bathroom, a home worker spilling coffee down himself, and a couple eating pizza in front of the TV. The advert presents a more representative cast and home environments, appealing to a broader range of customers and is set to the soundtrack of 'The Minute Waltz' by Barbara Streisand. The ANYDAY brand was launched last month with over 2,400 stylish, thoughtfully-designed products across Homeware, Technology, Baby Care and Baby Clothing. Prices are on average 20% lower than our current own brand. In the autumn over one thousand more products will be added to the range.
