TK Maxx is going goat for Christmas

Matthijs van Heijningen has directed the ad campaign, which tells the story of a doting farmer who’s dressed his goat in a brightly coloured designer ensemble. “She’s had such a hard year, she bloomin’ well deserves it if you ask me,” he says, when questioned by his baffled wife.

It’s a clever nod to the challenges of 2020, acknowledging how difficult the last 12 months have been, without dwelling on them too much.

The goat – which Wieden + Kennedy creative directors Hollie Walker and Cal Al-Jorani describe as “a strutting symbol of hope” – is undeniably endearing, and it’s a relief to see a Christmas ad having fun and being playful.

The campaign will appear on TV as well as in print, digital and across social.
