M&S are ready to spread the joy this spring with a new, seasonal style campaign, launching on Thursday 20th March, kickstarting the season with a chain reaction of compliments.
The ‘Love That’ campaign marks a step change in season with a bold and stylish statement, focused on spreading joy through style, and encouraging individuals to embrace the uplifting energy that comes with spring.
We celebrate how a well curated look that makes you feel good on the inside, can positively impact those around you - creating a ripple effect of happiness. Introducing a spring collection that comes with compliments guaranteed, M&S invites customers to celebrate 10/10 dressing, offering inspiration for elevated everyday looks and joyful day-to-night styles. From jackets so iconic you’ll want to double up, to shoes you’ll fall head over heels for. So, get ready to step into a spring, in which wherever you go, positivity will follow – we ‘love that’ for you.
The Campaign
Featuring 10' and 30’ AV content, set to the upbeat R&B track 1 Thing by Amerie, the visual narrative reinforces our position as a leading destination for stylish, quality clothing.
The ad beautifully captures the journey of a compliment as it reverberates from woman to woman. It begins with a subtle, almost unspoken exchange, gradually building in strength and culminating in an openly expressed compliment. Closing with a close-up of a woman’s lips, gently curling into the beginnings of a smile, symbolizing the warmth and connection created by a kind word - championing the powerful ripple effect of giving compliments and leaving viewers with a sense of joy and a desire to keep the positivity flowing.
Running across VOD, billboards, digital and social platforms, the campaign will be unmissable, reaching an estimated 183 million people across all channels. Our OOH presence will dominate London, Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield and Bristol, with London TFL escalator ribbons in Tottenham Court Road and Bond Street, billboards across London Underground, and fly posters in high impact locations, maximizing visibility. Alongside this, a full own-channel takeover on .com as well as in store, further amplifying the campaign.

Notes to Editor
Our Approach to Sustainability
- Quality and trusted value underpins everything we do. We source and make our clothes with care so they are hand-me-downable and exceptionally long-lasting, as they are too good to waste.
- For every M&S product, our clear goal is to only use responsibly sourced raw materials – including those that derive from animals.
- We ensure that 100% of the cotton in M&S clothing is responsibly sourced through the Better Cotton Initiative or with organic and recycled certifications. Our Responsible Cotton Sourcing Policy, excludes sourcing cotton from Xianjiang, Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan.
- 100% of the cashmere that we used in our pure cashmere products is certified by the Sustainable Fibre Alliance.
- 100% of the leather in our ladies footwear & accessories, men’s footwear and furniture is certified by the Leather Working Group.
- Our simple commitment is to send no clothes to landfill, ensuring any unsold stock is redistributed to our charity partners Oxfam, Newlife or Shelter.
- Through our long-standing Shwopping partnership with Oxfam, we make it easy for customers to recycle any used or unwanted clothing. Since 2008, we have collected over 36 million items of clothing raising an estimated £23m for Oxfam’s vital work.
- Through our Beauty Takeback Scheme, we enable hard to recycle beauty packaging materials and components that commonly end up in landfill to be recycled and turned into new products.
- We’re working hard to reduce, reuse and recycle our use of plastic. Through our hanger reuse scheme, we’ve diverted over one billion hangers from going to landfill since 2007 by reusing or recycling them, even if they’re broken. In 2023, we introduced a ‘Bring your own Bag’ initiative for Click & Collect orders, saving 10 million pieces of plastic annually.
- We were the first retailer to transparently publish details of the 500+ factories that make M&S clothing on our interactive supplier map, which includes the factory location, name, number of workers and gender split.
- Ethical trading is core to how we do business and our Global Sourcing Principles set out our minimum global supplier ethical and environmental standards. These Principles are reviewed regularly – in partnership with our supplier partners and external organisations – to ensure they are fit for purpose and up to date.
- Sustainability now runs through all our strategic priorities to provide the foundation for our plans to reshape M&S for growth that is sustainable in every sense. Our 22/23 Sustainability Report is available to view here.
