Westfield shares a behind-the-scenes look at the magic of Christmas in latest campaign via Sibling
Scentre Group has released its official Christmas campaign, ‘The Night (way) before Christmas’, as the countdown to the festive season and Santa’s arrival next week, begins.
Scentre Group will launch the Christmas 2020 through Sibling Agency, the full-service agency offering established by WPP AUNZ dedicated to the Westfield brand.
Coming to the end of what has been a difficult year for many, the campaign acts as a reminder for customers that the magic of Christmas will come to life at Westfield Living Centres across Australia and New Zealand this year.
Says Phil McAveety, director, customer experience, Scentre Group: “We feel encouraged by the growth in consumer confidence as we adapt to a COVID-safe normal and are gearing up for a safe, easy and festive Christmas this year.
“Our customers are telling us Christmas will take on even greater importance, and we are looking forward to making Christmas magical at Westfield with every visit, from our Christmas campaign, our centre experience to our expansive retail offer.
“Westfield is the first-choice, one-stop-shop destination for Christmas and we’re pleased to support our retailers at this critical trading period.”
Revealing the secrets behind the magic, the video provides a taste of all that goes into making Christmas happen at Westfield. This year alone, over 2,000 Christmas elves are spending over 1,000 hours installing Christmas decorations in the darkness of night across 42 Westfield Living Centres.
The integrated campaign will launch across 42 Westfield centres in Australia and New Zealand as well as earned, owned and paid channels, including:
● TV advertisements will feature across all major metro & several regional networks across both Australia and NZ
● Broadcaster VOD will extend the reach of the campaign in Australia
● Radio will be used to promote services and opening hours closer to Christmas
● Broadcast across the Westfield SmartScreens & SuperScreen network – over 1,500 screens
● Digital buy across YouTube, Mobile Display and Facebook
● PR and social

This is my favourite Xmas campaign so far!!
So well executed, hats off to the whole team on this
Love it!! The casting is awesome
This is genuinely authentic. No schmaltz or imagination required, just heartfelt and true.
Just wanted to make sure that this spot is getting the love that it deserves. Incredibly well made piece of film. Props to all involved.
Not too much pomp and circumstance, just great production and solid scripting. Really solid showing.
Wow these comments must be from Westfield creative team! Surely one of the worst this year. The direction and production is strong, the rest weak as p}#%.
