In the UK, Mother’s Day falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent, a tradition that dates back centuries. The celebration has its roots in a medieval custom that allowed people who had moved away to visit their hometowns or “mother churches.” This annual observance, while deeply historical, has evolved into a more modern tradition – a day for children, both young and grown, to celebrate their mothers and the tireless efforts they put into caring for their families.
As Mother’s Day approaches this Sunday (30 March), it’s an opportunity to reflect on some of the most memorable ads from recent years that have captured the spirit of the day and tugged at the heartstrings of audiences across the country.
Moonpig’s 2022 Ad: The Search for the Perfect Card
One standout campaign came from Moonpig in 2022, where the company’s endearing animated pig mascot played a starring role. The advert tells the story of a biker on a mission to find the perfect Mother’s Day card. Alongside the mascot, dressed in a variety of charming costumes, the man embarks on a light-hearted journey to find “the one” – a card that will do justice to his mother. After much searching, he finally finds what he hopes is the right card and sends it off with the message: it’s the thought that counts.
