H&M’s wonderful new Christmas ad shot by Wes Anderson

Come Together – A Christmas Brand Gesture

As the ‘content as entertainment’ train continues to gain momentum, Global retail brand H&M have teamed-up with film maker Wes Anderson to create a Christmas ad that is as quirkily cinematic as it is retail oriented. True to form and beautifully reminiscent of The Grand Budapest Hotel, Anderson indulges in tracking shots, pastel hues, smooth camera pans, and actor Adrien Brody. In Anderson’s signature style, the film is loaded with personality, which successfully transfers across to the H&M brand. The short film added almost four minutes of joy to my day, which is a pretty good return on investment for any brand relationship.
