Harnessing History

Simon Lancaster

Chapter Chapter 13 in Winning Minds, 2015, pp 140-145 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Do you remember Sainsbury’s Christmas advert in 2014? They recreated the legendary scene from the trenches in the First World War when British and German soldiers abandoned hostilities for an evening, swapped presents and played football. The evocative advert went viral instantly, appearing on Facebook and Twitter with comments such as ‘Oh my God — this made me cry’. The story created a powerful sense of nostalgia and togetherness: moods that then became intertwined with Sainsbury’s at Christmas.
