Last year we asked 3,750 UK consumers to share their thoughts on the festive ads, a veritable feast of opinions on holiday cheer and advertising flair. We compared their insights to our advertising database, the largest in the world, to assess their effectiveness.
From the most memorable branding, enjoyable music, funniest and more, we ranked ads from key industry sectors and players including Grocery, Retail, and FMCGs.
