Not just any advertising campaign

Love them or loathe them, those sultry "This is not just ..." M&S ads have been hugely successful, pushing up sales of the group's sumptuous chocolate pudding, for example, by an astonishing 3,500%.![]()
But it is the fashion ad campaign that has really helped restore the fortunes of Britain's biggest clothing retailer. Featuring 60s icon Twiggy, along with Erin O'Connor, Laura Bailey and Noemie Lenoir, the "Your M&S" advertising blitz is now judged to have been one of the most successful ad campaigns ever, driving an estimated 19m extra customer visits to M&S stores.
The stylish campaign, which last month saw M&S win top prize at the Advertising Effectiveness Awards, is in sharp contrast to the group's disastrous attempt a few years ago to celebrate the average female figure.
The ad, featuring a naked model, size 16, shouting "I'm normal" from the hilltops, was a huge turnoff for consumers, both male and female.
Normal she may have been but, when it comes to advertising, too much normality is not necessarily a good thing.
However, the current M&S campaign has not come cheap - according to figures from the media consultancy Nielsen, the retailer spent almost £62m on advertising in the year to September, a huge increase on its previous £45m spend. The only retailer that spends more is Tesco, the country's biggest and most profitable stores group, with a budget of more than £70m over the past year.
