    The Best Work You May Never See: W+K London, Director Max Siedentopf “Nail Christmas for Less” At TK Maxx 

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments2744 Views

    TK Maxx has unveiled how it will help people “Nail Christmas for Less” this year, with the launch of its upbeat festive commercial. Having astonished her family with amazing gifts by shopping at TK Maxx, the ad features a high-fiving heroine dancing through the streets as the whole town turns out in celebration of her present-buying success.

    “Nail Christmas for Less” tells the story of Sam, who absolutely nails her seasonal gifting with TK Maxx. We meet Sam as her father congratulates her for all the incredible presents she bought and asks how she did it. Sam’s reply is simple: “Just went to TK Maxx”. Stunned, and impressed, her father offers up his hand and starts a chain of spectacular high fives (from people, presents, pets and even a postbox) which lead Sam through the town, to a soundtrack of Cerrone’s 1977 hit ‘Supernature’. 

    In a year when financial pressures will be front of mind for the whole country, the spot shows that at TK Maxx–Europe’s off-price apparel and homeware retailer–you can find affordable and fabulous gifts for everyone, all under one roof. From kitchenware and decorations to fashion and beauty, to gifts for kids and pets, you’ll get more pressies for your pounds. 

    For the seventh year running, advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy London created TK Maxx’s Christmas commercial, this year directed by Max Siedentopf via production house Riff Raff.

    TDA Boulder, Director Michael Downing Tackle Banking Clichés In “No Nonsense” Campaign For First Interstate

    Thursday, August 27, 2026

    Indie ad agency TDA Boulder has unveiled “No Nonsense Banking,” its debut campaign for new client First Interstate Bank. The rolling launch runs through the end of the year, and spans across 10 states.

    The batch of spots includes this one titled “Every Step,” epitomizing a call to end the nonsense. “Every Step” opens on a couple experiencing life’s biggest moments (marriage proposal, first child, a kid learning to drive, and packing up for college). Each meaningful moment, though, has one odd addition: their banker is actually really there, experiencing those moments with them. The unexpected inclusion calls out the cliché that banks love to be with you every step of the way, even in life’s most intimate moments. The spot lands on the twist: First Interstate isn’t promising to be there for every step; just the ones that matter, with a straight answer and a real person on the other end.

    Michael Downing directed via The Sweetshop x Chirp Films.
