For Meteor’s Christmas Unlimited Campaign in 2014, we created Nicholas St Wenceslas – misanthropist, holiday Magnate and CEO of Christmas LTD, the company who make you pay more for Christmas while offering you less.


This was a huge campaign – with 4 TV ads, heavy outdoor and radio, and the biggest digital campaign Rothco had ever produced. The campaign won the Meteor’s digital account – with a dedicated website for Christmas LTD, dozens of digital display formats, a social campaign involving Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, a huge amount of online filmed content, and a Christmas album.


Christmas LTD was an outstanding success. So in 2015 Meteor asked us to bring Nick back. Now living in tax exile in the Christmas Isles, Nicholas is bigger and badder than ever. No longer just a CEO, he’s become a kind of festive super villain with a tropical corporate HQ, a poker-faced sidekick named Nick Nick, and plans for more extreme and imaginative Christmas rip offs than ever before – including his own fragrance line and an unbelievably shit toy that your kids just have to have.
