Dec 3, 2018

Meijer announced today that its newest holiday TV spot is now available for viewing. Entitled “Lily,” the 60-second spot features a cute little dog, a Border Terrier mix, who goes on a Christmas adventure before being rescued by Santa.  

“We concentrate on delivering a heartful message that reflects the spirit of the season and who we are as a company,” said Michael Ross, Vice President of Marketing for Meijer. “Through a heartwarming message of a little lost dog coming home, we believe this year’s spot encourages all of us to believe in the spirit of the season, while assuring that Meijer has everything they need.” 

The Meijer TV holiday spot was inspired by actual events involving a lost dog and was developed by Chicago-based advertising agency, The Distillery Project. The spot will air throughout the holiday season.
