PRESS PLAY>>TO VIEW THIS MONTH\u2019S WELCOME VIDEO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nGREAT HOLIDAY BRANDING!<\/p>\n\n\n\nMerry Christmas. This is always a great time to think about the positive things that have happened in our lives over the years. It\u2019s also a time for \u201chope\u201d for the future and for peace on earth. For marketers, it has historically been a time to aggressively go after the largest seasonal selling period of the year. It\u2019s also been the time to open up the advertising budgets and fill the airways and media with messages to reach more and more customers. For many, it has also been a time to strive for outstanding creativity with messages that not only are memorable but that also instill the true feelings of hope for family and friends\u2026and the world we live in. Unfortunately, the retail landscape has changed and some of the great commercials and ads no longer make it to the public as budgets and retail itself have diminished. Yet there are still some who make the effort and commitment to make the world a better place through their holiday messages. After an extended period of negativism in political advertising and posturing that has gone to lower levels of insult and bitterness, it\u2019s comforting to see marketers take the time to make a positive statement that goes far beyond another sales ad or promotion. Once again this year, here are some of my choices that reflect this positive trend. I share these with you with the wish for a safer, more peaceful world and nation this year. Happy New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPublix Attic<\/p>\n\n\n\nEvery year that I have presented the best Christmas commercials, Publix has been one of the best. Why? Not just because we shop there every week, but because they just do some of the best advertising in any industry. Here\u2019s how they describe this typically great spot: Christmas is the time of year when magic means finding goodness in each other. And that is the heart of this story about a little girl, an older neighbor, and a fella named \u201cMr. Snowman.\u201d Let\u2019s go on a journey with these characters and watch as they make a connection and give each other a reason to believe in the season. Get inspired and share the magic with a friend.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nClick on the link to view:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chevrolet-Holiday Ride<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chevy is part of the American scene and has helped make special memories for its owners for decades.
