US Ad of the Week: Walmart ‘Boyfriend’
Comedian and singer Craig Robinson surprises a Walmart shopper with a piano tune and some shopping advice in one of the company’s holiday commercials.
The 15-second ad, which has been voted by Holiday Creative Work readers as Ad of the Week, sees Robinson replacing the lyrics of ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ when he sees a woman browsing through a clothing rack at Walmart.
“Have yourself a merry little wish list, your boyfriend can’t read your mind,” he sings. The ad encourages viewers to download Walmart’s app so they can share what they want for Christmas this year on Facebook or over email.
Created by The Martin Agency, the video is one of many the brand is rolling out this holiday seasoning starring Robinson.
