9. Wrigley’s-Sometimes The Little Things Last the Longest
In 2013, a survey by Netmums revealed that nine out of ten parents felt TV dads do not reflect the contribution that fathers make to family life in the real world. Three out of ten went further and said the way dads are portrayed in the media is a “subtle form of discrimination”.
This is a heartwarming advert from Wrigley’s certainly isn’t guilty of that. It tells a beautiful father-daughter story from early childhood to leaving home.
The next advert celebrates the father-son relationship in a great way, click here to see it now.
