| Nostalgic Christmas ads might be a thing of the past | | Daniel Todaro | | 30 October 2014, 8:40AM |  Another year brings another fanfare as mid-Autumn ads from the big brands are rolled out to entice consumers to spend big both in-store and online this Christmas.
Last year we had Debenhams highlighting its elegant clothing, M&S taking us down the rabbit hole, and of course - who can forget - John Lewis' Bear and the Hare. Christmas ads inevitably form part of the national psyche in the run-up to the festive period, so it's crucial that brands get it right. It's a huge opportunity to connect with and reach consumers at a time when their attention turns to budgeting for Christmas.

This ad from AT&T that appeared on HotWired.com (now Wired.com) was simple, yet effective, and was enough to launch an entire industry over the next two decades.

The proliferation of social media, coupled with our desire to share every moment of our lives with friends and followers means we're constantly exposed to (depending on how old you are) babies, weddings, foodporn, running routes, holiday photos and party pics.
