St Luke's launches new campaign for Wickes

Home improvement retailer, Wickes, aims to galvanise the public into starting the year with some DIY with two new TV spots.

The work, created by St Luke's and directed by Neil Gorringe through Mythsmyth, builds on Wickes’ new brand platform, Feel as proud as a peacock, which was introduced in December 2024 and highlighted the brand’s range of kitchens.

A 30-second hero film will go live on 26th January across TV and video-on-demand, followed by a shorter ten-second film debuting on 30th January.

The longer film marks the first time that Wickes has featured bathrooms in TV advertising since 2021, following the brand bolstering their bathroom product range with 1,000 more products in 2024.

It opens on a woman painting a wall and on completing the final stroke we see her sense of pride come to life as colourful peacock feathers emerge from her back.

The same pride is reflected in a number of different scenarios, as we meet a woman laying the final piece of flooring in her hallway, another homeowner who is proudly inspecting the result after her bathroom has been installed by a professional Wickes fitter, and a couple finishing their garden transformation. All resulting in people displaying their sense of pride on a job well done, with the symbolic flurry of peacock feathers.

The shorter ad features the same DIY-er painting her wall and highlights an offer on Dulux paint.

Richard Denney, Joint Chief Creative Officer at St Luke’s, said: “Our first brand work for Wickes launched at the end of last year and proved a great success. This has filled us with confidence that we were right to think that pride and peacocks go hand in hand even in the minds of the younger generations. The New Year is a time for new beginnings for many and that’s why we think it’s the perfect time for some DIY.”
