Twitter gave the actual John Lewis his own Christmas ad and it’s better than the real thing
You’ll probably know all about the chap called John Lewis who this time of year is bombarded by people on Twitter who mistake him for the department store called John Lewis.
Except he is @johnlewis, a computer science engineer from Virginia, and the other John Lewis is @jlandpartners.
John Lewis – the bloke, not the shop – deals with all the customer enquiries with remarkably good humour, and now Twitter has given him his own Christmas ad.
And it’s a lot more fun than that Elton John effort.
You've been asking about the John Lewis advert, well here it is…@TwitterUK gave me a starring role in my very own Christmas #ad#NotARetailStore pic.twitter.com/In3b9uHDtm

And this is what people made of it.
This is better than the actual JL xmas advert!

Brilliant. This is the ad @jlandpartners should've done about three years ago with real @johnlewis.

Things that make Christmas: The Coca-Cola truck advert, the John Lewis advert, and @johnlewis responding warmly and wittily to all those who think he's a retail store.
