Big W says ‘all kinds of thanks’ to all different kinds of mums in Mother’s Day campaign

Australian chain of discount department stores, Big W, has launched this year’s Mother’s Day campaign by thanking all different kinds of mums.

The 15 second television ad, created by M&C Saatchi, shows teenage boys giving their mum a home made card and two young boys listing the best things about their mum, including “because she smells good”.

Kristen Linders, general manager of marketing at Big W, said there is no “one size fits all approach” when saying thank-you to mums on Mother’s Day.

“We know there are mums that love their fitness, others that love beauty products that make them feel special and some that are just happy to receive a homemade gift with love.

“We’ve aimed to capture the contribution mums make to Australian families, as well as all of the different kinds of mums in our campaign as we explore that notion that every mum is unique, and as a result, every kind of ‘thank you’ should be as well.”

The campaign is running across out-of-home, social, television and in magazines.
