Revisiting the spirit of SPAR’s 2012 classic advert, it picks up the original theme of ‘Finding Trees’ 10 years on. Rather than featuring genuine traditional Christmas trees only, the campaign showcases structures that naturally resemble or have been augmented to resemble Christmas trees. It continues with the original message; ‘wherever you find the tree, we hope you like what’s under it’, reflecting SPAR’s famous ‘under the tree’ tagline. Reflecting SPAR’s connectedness with its local community, SPAR has augmented the cast of the new campaign with non-actors gathered through street-casting from the various communities filmed across Ireland. These included two of the original cast from the 2012 film, featured originally as two young primary school pupils but now 10 years older. The soundtrack has been specially produced by a supergroup of emerging musical talents with Meath folk duo ‘Water’s Edge’, twin sisters Katie and Aoife Lynch , on lead vocals in a new rendition of The Raveonettes’ modern class, ‘The Christmas Song’, which featured in the original. The integrated campaign includes DOOH, activations across social channels and engagement across the retail network.
