“It might not necessarily be the most emotional response ad, but I think it will be one of the most effective.”
In this festive episode of The Persuasion Game, Media Effectiveness Expert, Matt Stockbridge helps us unpick the effectiveness of the Christmas adverts in 2025.
From John Lewis telling the story of a teenage son connecting with his father, to JD Sports’ user-generated clip sequences, major brands have taken different approaches in 2025.
The question is: which will be most effective when it comes to sales?
Matt is perfectly placed to help us answer that question, having previously worked on brands including Danone, Cadbury and Innocent.
He talks about the need to grab people’s attention, the art of product placement and the power of generating an emotional response.
From everyone at The Forge, Merry Christmas and see you in the New Year!
