It’s been a busy year pitching for new business, creative directing and making new work.

But we ended it with the biggest ad of the year for RKCR/Y&R: The M&S Christmas film.

Entitled “The Art of Christmas”, it was a massive production that was six months in the making.

Our aim was to avoid the emotional and go for a full-on spectacle, doing what big retailers really want at Christmas - to showcase lots of product. Directed by Christian Larson at RSA, it features those bits of Christmas we all love. From decorating the tree and partying to eating too much and falling asleep in front of Morecambe & Wise on Christmas Day.

So if you want to see where it began, often before directors and photographers get involved and how the final work changes (or not) have a look here.
