For the 2018 campaign, we trialled making a short advert for social media.

The purpose of this advert was to bring to life the social side of the campaign, serve as a reminder for people to dig out their grown children’s outgrown baby clothing and demonstrate that the passing on of baby clothing is something that they can do at any time, or as part of the Gift A Bundle campaign.
