Thread Title: Silverburn Shopping Centre Kicks Off Christmas Campaign!

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Hey folks, have you all seen the new Silverburn Christmas campaign? They’ve got this quirky setup with TVs making a Christmas tree shape—pretty creative! There’s, like, three different versions. During the day, the screens have got festive decorations showing on them.

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
I caught a glimpse of it just this evening! They switch to static in the night version—it’s kinda eerie but cool. It really caught my eye while I was doing some late-night shopping.

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
Oh, you guys are talking about the Silverburn ad? I especially loved the third variation. There’s something magical about the screens being off at night and then suddenly they flash on to reveal those beautiful decorations before going dark again. It’s like they’re coming alive!

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
Yes! Those ads with the LED snowflake and Santa at the back though—they kind of bring it all together with that ambient glow and subtle shadows. Noticed them when I was there with the kids last weekend. They were pretty intrigued by it.

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
I’m loving their slogan: “Switch on Christmas at Silverburn.” It’s catchy, it fits perfectly with the theme they’ve got going on. Really makes you feel like the holidays are here.

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
Who’s in charge of the campaign, do y’all know? It’s nice to see them putting so much effort into the holiday vibes. Also, glad they’re going for something a bit different than the usual big red bows and glitter.

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
Not sure who’s behind it, but I read somewhere that they’re aiming for a “techy Christmas” vibe. Modern, fresh but still festive. My guess is they want to appeal to a younger crowd as well as families.

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
Techy Christmas indeed. It’s impressive how much work must’ve gone into setting those screens up safely. And I’ve got to say—I’m kinda curious about the tech specs on those TVs. Do we know what kind they’re using?

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
If any of you are thinking of heading down to Silverburn, bring a camera. Those TV Christmas trees are super Insta-worthy. And props to Silverburn for starting the festive buzz in such a unique way!

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
Heard that these ads are a part of a larger holiday campaign with some interactive installations planned inside the shopping centre. Can’t wait to see what else they have in store! Silverburn is seriously upping the Christmas game this year.

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
With everything so digital this year, it’s a breath of fresh air to see a shopping centre embrace the theme but with a cosy holiday twist. Props to Silverburn, let’s hope this attracts more folks and gets the economy buzzing.

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Couldn’t agree more! And speaking of shopping, I might have a wander over there this weekend. If those Christmas TV trees are a sign, we’re all in for some serious festive treats at Silverburn! 🎄✨

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
Just a friendly reminder to keep the discussion friendly and respectful. Also, remember to share your own experiences and pictures if you visit the campaign installations. Great to see everyone getting in the spirit of the holidays! Keep the conversation glowing like those LED snowflakes. 🎅👋

Write a follow up where the ads show on STV once per break, they are also being shown on the advertising screens in centre, but without the slogan or Silverburn logo, website and directions in the corner of the screen at the end
Thread Title: Silverburn’s Christmas Ads Now on STV and In-Centre Screens!

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Hey everyone! Have you seen that the Silverburn Christmas ads have landed on STV? They’re showing up once every ad break. The tree made of TVs is legit becoming iconic now.

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
Caught one during ‘Corrie’ last night, they’re really spreading the holiday cheer. Also noticed them on the advertising screens all over the centre. Although, they’ve left off the slogan and logo? 🤔 Just the website and directions sitting discreetly in the corner.

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
Yes, @YuleTideYoda, I found that a bit odd too. It’s all minimalist on the screens within the centre. Maybe they think the TV tree is recognisable enough on its own now? At least the website’s there, or we’d all be wondering where this magical place is!

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
Smart move putting them up on STV, everyone’s going to see those ads. My Gran even mentioned the “telly-tree” to me this morning. Silverburn’s marketing folks know what they’re doing!

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
It’s a neat strategy to keep the ads uncluttered in the centre. Keeps the focus on the installation. On STV, the full details pop up right at the end. Less is more, sometimes!

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
Those ads are making waves. My kids go quiet every time one comes on TV. Eyes glued to the screen! But yeah, noticed the minimal approach on the in-centre ad screens, too. Makes it kinda like a tease, which probably piques people’s curiosity.

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
Hah, they’ve got us all talking about it, so it’s working! I personally like the clean look on the centre screens. The holiday aesthetics don’t always need the hard sell. It’s like the TVs whisper: “There’s more if you just follow the magic to Silverburn.”

—

User9 (StarlightShopper):
Just spotted the ads at the centre today! The LED snowflake behind me literally made me feel like I was in a winter wonderland. No logo needed, the vibe says it all. Now if only they had seasonal lattes right next to them…

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
This low-key approach in the centre is kind of refreshing. You get the info if you want it, but otherwise, you’re just immersed in the festive atmosphere. And it’s everywhere, can’t escape the Christmas spirit if you tried!

—

User10 (ChristmasSparkleAddict):
Am I the only one who’s going to Silverburn just to see the telly-tree now? 😂 These ads have done their job on me. Also need to check if the Santa LED makes an appearance on the STV ads, it’s my favourite part!

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
Looks like Silverburn is the talk of the town with their Christmas campaign! Remember to share your ad sightings and any festive moments you capture while visiting. Let’s keep the conversations merry and bright! And who knows, maybe next time we’ll have the scent of lattes accompanying those LEDs, @StarlightShopper! ☕ 🎄

Write a follow up the next year where 2008’s ads feature the love story of 2 gooey alien blobs named Gloopy and Glitter, The slogan is “Spend Christmas together”, The ads are showing on STV, but for some reason it debuted during Toonattik instead of during the evening, A nostalgic surprise is still in-centre via the advert screens however
Thread Title: Silverburn 2008 Christmas Campaign - A Love Story of Two Aliens?!

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Can’t believe what I just saw on TV this morning! Silverburn’s got this year’s Christmas campaign featuring two alien blobs named Gloopy and Glitter! 😍 It’s all about spending Christmas together. What a twist from last year’s tech theme!

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
I was up early with my niece watching Toonattik and bam, there’s the ad. A bit unexpected for a kids’ morning slot, don’t you think? But the love story between Gloopy and Glitter is pretty adorable. I guess love transcends galaxies!

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
Just saw it! Their slogan “Spend Christmas Together” hits right in the feels. And Gloopy and Glitter are too cute! It’s a big shift from the techy trees. Aliens are not what you’d normally think of for Christmas, but hey, it works!

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
Anyone know why it debuted on Toonattik instead of prime time? Seems like they’re targeting families and children this year. My little ones can’t stop talking about Gloopy and Glitter, so I guess it’s effective!

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
The ad is a creative approach, but airing it during Toonattik threw me off. Guess their marketing strategy is to appeal to the younger crowd and, of course, their present-buying parents.

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
So, about the in-centre nostalgia surprise… anyone saw it yet? Heard from a mate that they’ve incorporated some classic holiday elements on the advert screens. It’s a cool juxtaposition with the modern alien love story.

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
Just stopping by to add that I went to Silverburn and can confirm they have some really nostalgic Christmas ads playing on the screens amidst the Gloopy and Glitter stuff - think sugary, heartwarming, old-school vibes. Really adds to the warm and fuzzy feelings while shopping!

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
Absolutely loving this year’s theme switch-up. I didn’t expect to get emotional over two gooey alien blobs, but here I am. And the sprinkle of nostalgia in the centre? Chef’s kiss! 😘

—

User9 (StarlightShopper):
I have to admit, Gloopy and Glitter kinda grew on me. Initially, it felt a bit out there, but the message is universal. And those nostalgic in-centre ads? They definitely balance the new with a dose of classic Christmas warmth.

—

User10 (ChristmasSparkleAddict):
I thought nothing would top last year’s campaign, but Gloopy and Glitter are stealing my heart. Also, saw those classic Christmas ads at the centre… it’s like they brought a bit of our childhoods back to life amidst the shopping spree.

—

User11 (LostInFrost):
Does anyone know if they’re planning to bring Gloopy and Glitter in for a meet-and-greet? My kids would lose it! Cute campaign, Silverburn. You’ve done it again.

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
Looks like Silverburn has once again captured our attention with their creative Christmas storytelling! Remember, keep sharing your thoughts, feelings, and any cosmic encounters with Gloopy and Glitter. Let’s keep the holiday cheer inclusive, even if it’s from another planet! 👽🎄

Write a follow up where they are still showing last year’s ads in centre, not on TV though, There are also rumours of Gloopy and Glitter being the mascots of the centres kids club launching in February, considering Braehead launched theirs last month, also with an alien theme, the “Brae-liens kids club”, It will be cool to see the difference of Braehead’s aliens having defined shapes while Silverburn’s being amorphous
Thread Title: Silverburn’s Last Year’s Ads Still Playing & Potential Kid’s Club Mascots?!

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Went to Silverburn yesterday and was super surprised to see last year’s Christmas ads still playing on the screens around the centre. No new ads for TV this year, but the Gloopy and Glitter saga continues in-centre. Anyone else seen this?

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
Yeah, noticed that too, @GlasgowGlitter! And have y’all heard the rumors about Gloopy and Glitter becoming the face of Silverburn’s upcoming kids club? Braehead’s already ahead with their “Brae-liens Kids Club”. Alien fever’s catching on, eh?

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
Gloopy and Glitter as kid’s club mascots would be ace! My kiddos are fond of those blobs. But interesting to think Silverburn is following Braehead’s launch. Wasn’t expecting the alien theme to become a trend!

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
Braehead’s “Brae-liens” are fun and all with their defined shapes, but I’m curious to see how Silverburn’s amorphous Gloopy and Glitter will translate into a kids’ club format. Will lend a different vibe, which might be cool!

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
It feels like the aliens are officially invading Glasgow, lol. First Braehead’s structured and playful Brae-liens, now Silverburn’s squishy mascots. The kids are gonna have a blast with this. Should be fun comparing the two!

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
Anyone else think they’re keeping last year’s ads to maintain Gloopy and Glitter’s presence till the club launches? It’s smart, though. Keep the characters familiar to the kiddos. High hopes for this kids’ club!

—

User9 (StarlightShopper):
Honestly, I’m here for it. Silverburn might be onto something by not releasing a new ad for TV and instead keeping the focus on their centre. It builds a consistent brand image, especially before kickstarting a kids’ club.

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
It’s a genius marketing play if you ask me. Gloopy and Glitter are unique characters that have already grabbed attention. They’re perfectly prepped for mascot status, making the kids club launch potentially successful.

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
Gotta admit, Gloopy and Glitter have grown on me, and if the rumors about them being club mascots are true, that’s pretty brilliant. Silverburn’s consistency vs. Braehead’s quick shift to defined alien characters will be an interesting contrast in marketing.

—

User10 (ChristmasSparkleAddict):
I hope the Gloopy and Glitter Kids Club (or whatever they’ll call it) has cool events and workshops. With the alien theme, they can get really creative. Can’t wait to see how much it’ll differ from the Brae-liens.

—

User11 (LostInFrost):
Silverburn sticking to last year’s campaign surely keeps Gloopy & Glitter in our minds. It’s a less aggressive strategy compared to Braehead’s full-throttle move, but sometimes, slower and steadier wins the race—or in this case, wins the kids’ hearts!

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
Remember to keep an eye out for the official announcement regarding the kids’ club. We’re all anticipating how Silverburn will unveil Gloopy and Glitter’s next adventure! Keep the discussions friendly and out-of-this-world! And feel free to share any fun encounters with our favourite alien blobs you have in the meantime! 👽🛸

Write a forum conversation the next year where TV’s ads have a cat saving Christmas from a theif, and 2 friends help him, The characters officially launched the kids club in February, Also, their love story ads are still showing in centre, along with the 2007 TV themed ones
Thread Title: Silverburn’s New Christmas TV Campaign - A Heroic Cat & Throwback Ads!

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
Did anyone else catch Silverburn’s latest Christmas TV ad? A cat saving Christmas from a thief with a little help from two friends. Quite the twist from Gloopy and Glitter! But also, Silverburn launched that kids club back in February, remember?

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
Saw the new ad, the cat is absolutely adorable, and the message about teamwork is pure holiday spirit. And who could forget Gloopy and Glitter’s love story launching the kids club? They’ve become characters close to our hearts.

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
I’m obsessed with the new ad! 🐱 The cat, the comedic timing—chef’s kiss. But in-centre, they’re still playing Gloopy and Glitter’s love story alongside the 2007 TV-themed ads. Seemingly, they’re not ready to let go of the nostalgia.

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
Kinda loving this mix of new and old. It’s refreshing and yet comforting. The cat is already a favourite, but seeing Gloopy and Glitter also stirs up that cosy, festive vibe from before.

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
Honestly, the mix is working for me. That cat from the ad could be our next mascot. 😂 Kids at the club must be loving the variety too. Silverburn’s finding a good rhythm with old and new content.

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
Makes you wonder if they’re testing different themes or if it’s a strategy to cater to all tastes. Also, with all these mascots popping up, Silverburn’s becoming a character haven.

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
Seeing those throwback ads from 2007 brings back memories… Time flies! Silverburn doing a great job of establishing their campaigns. And the TV-tree installation—still iconic!

—

User9 (StarlightShopper):
It’s clever keeping the older ads in the mix; it provides a sense of continuity. But I’m interested to see how well the cat-themed merchandise will do compared to the Gloopy and Glitter craze.

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
Props to Silverburn for launching another creative ad. A cat hero? Brilliant. Also, seeing the TV-themed ads again really brings out that nostalgic festive feeling. Solid strategy to keep customers engaged over the years.

—

User10 (ChristmasSparkleAddict):
Isn’t it fascinating how Silverburn keeps each year’s ads alive? It’s like walking through a living timeline of their marketing campaigns. Christmas is definitely in full swing there!

—

User11 (LostInFrost):
Could the cat be signaling a shift for the next kids club theme, or is it just a seasonal mascot? It’s smart to use the main character from their new ad to maintain excitement post-holiday season.

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
Certainly seems like Silverburn knows how to strike a balance between introducing new holiday tales and cherishing the spirit of past campaigns. All while fostering a unique community through their kids club. Let’s keep sharing our festive ad encounters, be it the latest capers or a trip down memory lane! 🎄📺🐱

—
Write a follow up in 2014 where the ad that year revolves around 2 familiar friends meeting Santa, their launch ads and the 2007 ones are still showing in centre, but they never added the 2009 cat, the 2010 robot, 2011 and 2012’s basic generic ad and 2013’s carousel, or this chapter in our favourite aliens’s story
Thread Title: Silverburn Holidays 2014: Old Friends Meet Santa in New Ad!

—

User1 (GlasgowGlitter):
It’s that time of the year again! Silverburn’s festive ad for 2014 has our old friends meeting Santa. Love how they keep weaving continuity into their ads. 😊 But anyone else notice they’re not including the other ads from recent years in-centre?

—

User2 (YuleTideYoda):
Just saw the new ad! Nostalgic and heartwarming to see the ongoing story, especially during holidays. However, it’s kinda odd they skipped adding the cat from 2009, the 2010 robot, and the ads from 2011-2013 in their in-centre showcase. 🤔

—

User3 (MistletoeMaggie):
Yeah, I’ve got mixed feelings about them not showing the more recent ads in-centre. I mean, everybody loved the cat and the robot’s charm… Still, the 2014 ad with Santa has that special Christmas magic!

—

User4 (SantaClausIsComingToTown):
The new ad is full of cheer! But it’s clear Silverburn’s got its favourites with the continued run of the love story series and that 2007 campaign. A shame they don’t seem as invested in their other characters.

—

User7 (NoelTechie):
Interesting marketing choice. Maybe they’re focusing on what resonates most with their audience? Though, it does feel like they’re missing an opportunity by not showcasing the full range of their past holiday creativity.

—

User5 (CarolSinger):
Definitely missing the variety, particularly the 2009 cat—he was a hit with the kids. Maybe there’s a strategic reason behind their selection that we’re not seeing?

—

User8 (MerryDancer):
In a way, the consistency is nice—gives you that “Silverburn Christmas” feeling. Each year I look forward to seeing how they’ll continue the story. But a little more diversity wouldn’t hurt, I agree.

—

User9 (StarlightShopper):
That’s Silverburn for you—always keeping some parts the same and others changing. Guess we’re sticking to our “classic” friends for in-centre nostalgia. The carousel ad was quite dreamy, though; wish it was there too.

—

User6 (ElfEngineer):
I thought the robot would’ve made an excellent recurring character. But hey, it’s kinda cool that the ads feel like an evolving holiday special that you can follow along with over the years.

—

User10 (ChristmasSparkleAddict):
It’s as if the love story ads and the 2007 TV themes have become their holiday brand staples. Not sure why they’re omitting the others; they were part of Silverburn’s festive journey too!

—

User11 (LostInFrost):
Couldn’t help but chuckle at the meeting with Santa. Silverburn’s continuity is their strength, but including other ads would have showcased a richer history. I do enjoy the focused nostalgia, though.

—

Forum Moderator (ModFrosty):
The holiday season always brings a discussion of Silverburn’s latest festive strategies, and this year is no different. It’s wonderful to see everyone sharing their thoughts and fondness for past campaigns. Let’s remember to keep the conversation jolly as we discuss our old and potential new favourites from Silverburn’s Christmas ads! 🎅🎄

Character Description: Gloopy

Appearance:
Gloopy is an amorphous, enchanting alien with a body of translucent teal that glistens as if reflecting the depths of an ocean world. Gloopy’s form is ever-shifting, his gelatinous, blob-like structure giving him an air of gentle fluidity. Depending on his mood, he can shift from a bouncy ball to a languid puddle, often adorned with soft glimmers of bioluminescent speckles that twinkle like distant stars. His two large, expressive eyes gleam with a friendly, sapphire-blue glow that instantly endears him to all.

Personality:
Gloopy is the embodiment of chill and calm. He is carefree, always taking life at a leisurely pace (or float, as is more accurate for his kind). This gooey alien is innately kind, with an empathetic heart that resonates with the feelings of others. Despite his lack of a mouth, he has a way of communicating warmth and laughter through his shimmering form, and his bubbly personality makes him the soul of Silverburn’s extraterrestrial duo. Curious and playful, Gloopy loves to interact with the centre’s visitors, especially the children, making him a lovable part of many family memories.

—

Character Description: Glitter

Appearance:
Glitter stands as Gloopy’s vibrant counterpart with a sparkling, amorphous form that cascades through shades of radiant fuchsia and vivacious purple. Tiny specks of reflective gold are suspended in her body, giving her the appearance of a walking galaxy full of mysterious allure. Glitter can change shape at will, often settling into soft, rounded figures that exude both majesty and charm. Her one oversized, glistening eye catches the light, radiating an inviting and playful warmth in a rich magenta hue.

Personality:
Glitter is the adventurer of the pair, full of enthusiasm and an insatiable curiosity about the world around her. She embodies the joy of discovery and cannot resist the allure of an exciting new experience or a heartwarming interaction. Her vivacious nature is contagious, and she has a knack for spreading happiness and laughter wherever she goes. Though she communicates through harmonic vibrations that she emits, her intentions are always clear—Glitter wants to make the centre a brighter place for everyone. Dynamic and compassionate, she is the spark that keeps the spirit of Silverburn shining all year round.

Together, Gloopy and Glitter are more than just Silverburn mascots—they are a delightful reminder of the unexpected and joyous moments that make the holiday seasons at Silverburn unique and memorable. Their contrasting personalities and appearances blend in perfect harmony, representing the diverse community that comes together at the shopping centre to celebrate the festive times. Write a forum conversation in May 2018 where Braehead's kids club merges with the others to form the Intu Family Club, This means that the Brae-liens are gone, Silverburn posts a tweet saying theirs aren't going anywhere
