Migros Christmas campaign: Wirz celebrates the comeback of Finn the elf
Migros also wants to make dreams come true at Christmas in 2023. As part of the current campaign, Wirz is once again focusing on the little elf Finn after a four-year break.
Over the past few days, a first teaser film has already caused speculation in the Migros community. Now comes the certainty: Migros and Wirz bring Finn the elf back together. His first two films went viral and touched millions of people around the world. After that, the elf went quiet. Nevertheless, fans are still asking for another Christmas story with Finn. This wish is now being fulfilled.
"At Christmas, we don't just want to tell a nice story, we want to remind people how important it is to be there for each other," says Giovanna Colucci, Senior Project Manager at Migros. "And that's what we're doing this year with the little elf Finn, who does everything he can to fulfill a little girl's dream."
"In the story, the empathetic Finn immediately recognizes that the girl's seemingly small wish means the whole world to her. And immediately shows that anyone really can make a big difference in the lives of their fellow human beings - even a little gnome," explains Lorenz Clormann, Executive Creative Director at Wirz.
The motto of this year's campaign is "Let's make dreams come true". On the Christmas platform - created in collaboration with the agency Mutabor - people from their own environment can be nominated from Sunday, for whom they want to fulfill a dream together with Migros. The dream categories include a long-awaited trip, new furniture for the children's room, cultural events and much more. Migros will review the suggestions and then make as many dreams come true as possible.
Finn not only plays the leading role in the TV and online film, but also appears in other channels. Six short online films with Finn lead into the Christmas world of Migros on the Christmas hub and are intended to whet the appetite for Christmas. Finn underlines Migros' product range expertise in specially produced DOOH activations. With extra content on social media and TikTok, the Migros gnome creates a Christmassy atmosphere and lots of Christmas moments during the Advent season. The elf can also be discovered on POP and on display ads.
The campaign can now be seen throughout Switzerland.
