The UMPG UK sync team licensed the music for a host of festive adverts this year, several of which were pitched by our creative team. These include spots for Morrisons, TK Maxx, McDonald's, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Marshalls, KFC, Charlotte Tilbury, JD sports, Aldi and Lidl.
Some of the highlights include Morrisons' brilliant singing oven glove spot featuring Starship – 'Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now'; TK Maxx’s festive farm starring the animals strutting their stuff to Eve – ‘Let Me Blow Ya Mind’ (ft. Gwen Stefani, Stevie J); Tesco’s heart warming spot with a reluctant teenager finally getting in the Christmas spirit set to OMC - 'How Bizarre'; whilst JD Sports give their own unique take on the festive season, celebrating British youth culture and the well loved JD Bag for Life, to the sounds of Liquid – 'Sweet Harmony'.
