M&S is launching its back-to-school film, School Happens, to evoke memories of the first day of term in a lighthearted and entertaining way. 

Showcasing M&S school uniforms that are ready for full days of experiments, running, jumping, painting, and turning your jumpers into a skipping rope.

Anna Braithwaite, Marketing Director of M&S Clothing and Home commented: “As the UK market leaders during Back-to-School, it's essential we maintain the magic of M&S. This season, our TV ad brings together our trusted value and hand-me-down quality - which is at the heart of what we offer - to ensure families are covered, whatever their kids get up to, both on and off the playground, as school happens!”

The campaign was crafted by agency Mother and was directed by Hot Icarus.

M&S is the market leader for school uniforms. Its full range is designed to pass the ‘hand-me-down’ quality test, with durability features including crease-resistant fabrics, StayNew technology that reduces bobbling and colour, and scuff-resistant shoes. Maintaining great value, 2024 is the fourth year that prices have been held on M&S school uniforms.

School Happens will air on broadcast and VOD in August in the run-up to the new school year in all home nations. The integrated back-to-school campaign also includes radio, digital, paid and organic social media, PR, CRM, online and in-store activity.
