Coles enlists magical Christmas elves to ‘Make this Christmas more delicious’ in heart-warming Christmas campaign via Smith St Melbourne
Coles has teamed up with Smith St to launch its 2024 Christmas Season campaign. The heartwarming campaign shows Coles’ team members as a group of magical elves working together with its network of dedicated Aussie farmers, growers and suppliers to make this Christmas more delicious.
From sourcing ocean-caught Aussie banana prawns to handpicking juicy Aussie mangoes and cherries before they hit the shelves – Coles is working hard to ensure Aussies have everything they need for a truly delicious Christmas.
The integrated campaign has hundreds of touchpoints across in-store, owned, paid and earned media. Messaging throughout the campaign focuses on the quality and value of Christmas centrepieces like award-winning hams, responsibly sourced Coles’ seafood, fresh mangoes and easy desserts.
Says Bianca Mundy, Head of Brand, Media and Content at Coles: “Christmas is a time of magic, joy and coming together with family and friends but we know it can also be a busy and stressful period for customers. This Christmas, Coles is helping Aussies deliver a delicious Christmas with an exciting range of easy and affordable products for every table.”
Says Psembi Kinstan, Chief Creative Officer, Smith St: “Christmas is all about sharing delicious food together with the people you love. It’s great to be able to spread a little magic on the occasion.”
