Holiday Ads Special live from Chicago

Planning's greatest Holiday Ads Party returned live to the Merchandise Mart. We watched and debated some of the best holiday ads from the US and UK.

Joining us on stage were Nimisha Jain, CSO at Highdive, Pedr Howard, Head of Creative Excellence at Ipsos, Samantha Cescau, CSO at Leo Burnett and Mark Gross, Co-Founder and Co-CCO at Highdive.

Listen to the episode below and scroll down to see all the creative work from the show. Love to hear what your favorite Holiday spot was this year.

Thanks to Ipsos, The Effies and Tracksuit for supporting our 2025 live tour.
