Christmas is an extremely noisy time of year, with many brands and retailers ‘shouting’ for attention. So this year Halfords are bucking the trend by creating a space for their unfiltered message to shout in its own very unique way. No music track, CGI or tinsel required.

In their new TVC and VOD spot launching 4 November, the work by Karmarama aims to remind parents of the true gift of giving a bike this Christmas and portray the unbridled happiness and sense of freedom only riding a bike can bring.

A bike isn’t just another Christmas present. It’s the thrill of adventure, independence, all year long. The freedom to go off on your own two wheels. It’s a pure, unadulterated, unfiltered joy.
