Creatives treat Tesco to TV award for 'No Naughty List'

BBH London’s Christmas commercial for Tesco set out to squeeze a smile out of the pandemic crisis … and succeeded. It was voted by the Thinkbox Academy to be the winner in the November/December Thinkboxes.

With 74% of the nation saying they wanted to see light-hearted content in festive ad offerings, the humorous Tesco advert showed people from across Britain worrying about the things that might put them on the naughty list at Christmas - from bad video call etiquette to buying too much loo roll.
