Personal stories that feel universal.
Westfield has unveiled its 'Feels Like Christmas', a series of films shining a light on the moments that evoke the feelings of the festive season.
The three films portray real stories from the community about the wonder of Christmas: 'Dasher the Daggy Reindeer', 'The First Slice' and 'Scissors-A-Gliding'.
Scentre Group head of marketing, brand and content Amy Copley said Christmas is a time to feel joy, togetherness, excitement and gratitude.
"Our Westfield campaign spotlights personal stories that feel universal, reminding us to soak up the moments that feel like magic and enjoy the festive fuzzies that make this season so meaningful," she said.
AKQA CCO Chad Mackenzie said this campaign was a treat to work on.
"Starting with real stories and honing in on moments that might seem small on the surface, but are powerfully emotive kick-starters of Christmas, helped take the storytelling to another level, along with the stunning craft from our production partners," he said.
'Feels Like Christmas' will appear in Australia and New Zealand across OOH, radio, Spotify 3D audio, social, online video and the Westfield media ecosystem, including in-centre smart screens, social and digital channels.
It will be amplified by an earned campaign that uncovers the wellbeing benefits of Christmas, offering some insight into the science behind them and aiming to prompt a cultural conversation about how we all get more this Christmas by tuning into the festive warm fuzzies.
