How does Alexa know whose version to play? Or even which song, given that Steve Winwood also has a song of the same name.
Because it's a 'smart' speaker. Not just a voice-controlled web browser, oh no...BTW the M&S jumper adverts are just plain wrong. Taking a classic alternative scene track like Jump Around and using it for a middle of the road, middle class, middle England advert is a crime punishable only by making the perpetrators listen over and over to Mariah Carey's Christmas row for the remainder of their natural lives.
...or maybe I just got old.

I wish the dad giving his daughter the air hostess some crappy overpriced jewelry would jump out of the plane! So she never saw him as he boarded and again when she checked seat belts then? The advert seems to be on at every break now. Hopefully it will die after Christmas.
I bet she wished he hadn't spent the money on the plane ticket and put it towards a better present rather than some tat from Pandora

Edinburgh Gin, the dancing annoys me more than it should, (not sure if it's Northern Soul?) It's the clap everyone does together that gets to me...... And while Im on about dancing, I hate the shoulder thing they do in that dance for M&S jumpers.
Have you seen the Sipsmiths advert? I thought they were a quality comp any until I saw that.Likewise - jaguar F type advert... Jesus Christ! It’s a sports car not a s
tting Igo. Which agency tucked them up with that croc of st?Tooth Fairy Inc - company advertising about advertising - appears to be the follow up to the alien invasion one that got played to excess from a couple of years ago.
I mentioned it a couple of pages back but it's basically their version of celebrity talking heads mentioning all the charities the £££ goes to in an effort to look less "win some £££££ for yourself in the new year" vs "give £££ to charity instead".
Although it's worth noting that version of the advert only seems to appear on the main channels. Pretty much all of the smaller sub channels still feature the usual lot knocking on doors & telling you to buy your ticket in time for the big January draw.

postcode lottery - how the hell did they get George to do that ad!
Broadening their customer base? The previous advertising did seem to be almost exclusively targeting a single demographic.Although it's worth noting that version of the advert only seems to appear on the main channels.

That new one of the artistically shot snowball fight advertising the latest iphone's supposed video capability. Then you notice near the start of the advert, in small print at the bottom of the screen, "Additional hardware required". So it wasn't actually shot with a standard iphone, or possibly even with an iphone at all.
