After killing off its ‘Never Knowingly Undersold’ slogan, British retailer John Lewis has debuted an emotive ad to introduce its new brand promise, ‘For All Life’s Moments’.

In the spot, which was created by long-time agency partner Adam&EveDDB, a father takes his new born daughter home from the hospital and, as the late nights, stained clothes and loud crying ensues, viewers get to see their relationship grow through the years.

As the young girl gets older, the advert shows all the milestone moments that parents go through – first words, steps, mealtimes, even mundane trips to the supermarket. In the final scene, the father drops his daughter off for her first day at school.
