Directed by the award-winning Vince Squibb and created by Vodafone and Ogilvy UK, the 30” ad centres around the mischievous star of the show Lily, who is trying to set a cunning trap to capture Santa on her wireless camera with the help of her toy Elf and Vodafone’s reliable award-winning network. With the trap set, Lily keeps checking her parents’ phone to see what is happening on her camera but there is no sign of Santa. When she wakes up on Christmas Day to find the carrot and milk she left out is almost all gone, she runs upstairs to check the video footage with her parents, only to discover Santa has been and she has successfully captured a video of him cheekily waving to the camera.
Maria Koutsoudakis, Head of Brand, Vodafone UK , said: “In today’s cultural climate we have listened to the customer and understood their desire to have something optimistic and light hearted during this festive season. As a brand we know the important role our connectivity plays in family life, and wanted to celebrate this through the eyes of a tech savvy little girl who gives a whole new twist to the elf on the shelf. Our little elf gives us a creative vehicle to symbolise connectivity, and allows us to stretch the idea and the positive feel-good factor, across all our touch points.”
Justin Cox, MD at Team Vodafone, Ogilvy UK: “At this magical time of year creating special moments for friends and families is the most important role a brand can play. Vodafone and Ogilvy UK are very proud of this latest Feel the Connection campaign. Wherever you are, whoever you are with, feeling connected at Christmas is the ultimate gift.”
