The first Adwatch results of 2015 are in. My theory that the outcome of these results are all decided by couch potatoes has just been confirmed as DFS takes top spot as most recalled ad of the week with its "biggest ever winter sale" sofa advert.
Couch potatoes need feeding, which could be why Aldi comes in second place at 43% with its mouth watering, food filled ad, featuring turkey carving and gravy pouring. Not too far behind in third place is Very.co.uk with a clothing ad for their "biggest range of party wear".
