michael's holiday campaign
the best way to spread christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear... and also buying from michaels.
based deep in holiday strategy, we crafted personas around "making" behavior – everything from the late night mom and dad wrapping session to the aunt that gets it all done just in the nick of time. all-in-all this campaign positions michaels as the premiere spot for holiday gifting through targeting the heart and helping you relate to the holiday habits we all have in common.
