"The real superheroes of Christmas are the parents."
With Christmas just eight weeks away, BIG W has launched its 2019 Christmas campaign on Sunday night.
The 30 second brand TVC was created by M&C Saatchi.
“Santa gets all the credit but the real superheroes of Christmas are the parents," M&C Saatchi creative director Brendan Donnelly says.
"Even though it comes around every year, it somehow still sneaks up on us! The reverse treatment of the film takes viewers on a journey, starting with the big day and travelling backwards through the busy season until mum realises that it's Christmas already.”
Additionally, on Thursday this week, BIG W will launch its inaugural Gift Spot in-store and online.
A curated range of thousands of gifts under $50, The Gift Spot has been carefully considered to help customers with convenient and affordable gifting ideas.
“At BIG W, we understand that every day is a big day for families and there’s a lot of pressure at this particular time of year to make Christmas a perfect day," BIG W general manager marketing Kristen Linders says.
"However, we also recognise that it’s often those imperfect family moments where the richest memories are made. With so many little things to do in preparation for Christmas, our latest campaign highlights how BIG W is there to help - every step of the way.”
BIG W’s Christmas TVC forms part of a wider integrated marketing effort across TV, radio, online, social, OOH, SEM and PR which continues the retailer’s recent marketing focus on families and the part BIG W plays in helping with their big days.
