Overmatter: festive film stars

A seasonal hat-tip goes to Precision Printing in Barking, and in particular to group marketing manager Emma Thompson.

Despite this being the firm’s ‘peak season’ with a spike in orders that results in Precision handling a whopping 60,000 orders a day, Emma was quick to spot an opportunity for the company to have a bit of fun joining in with the various parodies of the latest John Lewis Christmas ad.

Fortunately, Emma also had her very own cute youngster on hand to star in the short film, in the shape of her five-year old daughter Betsy. 

And so Johnny Lou-Lou’s seasonal weepie, Man on the Moon, became instead a printing company on the moon, with Betsy’s telescope revealing Precision’s band of hard-working printing elves (complete with suitably elvish headgear) beavering away and waving back at their earth-bound scrutineer. 

The team is shown producing a myriad of personalised items such as books and calendars – including of course something to go under Betsy’s own Christmas tree.

Cue a ridiculously cute handwritten thank-you note from Betsy. You can see it here: www.youtube.com/user/PrecisionPrintingUK.

Bless! Not a dry eye in the house. Again.
