Description

'It’s Christmas come early'Because new gas central heating keeps your home warm whatever the time of year, installing now means it will be just as cosy in winter as it is in summer.Combined with the £200 offer, it is literally 'Christmas come early'This was symbolically achieved by having the traditional 'mother-in-law visit' at Christmas come early - very early.The 30’ execution focused on the arrival and ‘installation’ of the mother-in-law.The 10’ execution reinforced her complete takeover of the house.Other media within the campaign continued the theme using Christmas wrapping paper imagery.

Outcome
