After more than a month with no new Covid cases, 28 appeared in Sydney on December 18, exactly one week from Christmas Day. Covid is the virus that keeps on giving painful surprises. Undaunted (and at the time with no knowledge of Australia’s new source of stress), Deloitte Digital created a Christmas message that welcomes freedom.

Matt Lawson, chief creative officer, Deloitte Digital, commented, “Let’s not beat around the bush, it’s been a tough year. And everyone in the creative, digital and marketing world is looking forward to having a break and enjoying their freedom. So, we just wanted to capture that spirit, and then fittingly, release it. Happy Holidays everyone.”
