Leo Burnett Chicago Gets Verklempt for Hallmark

By Erik Oster 

Get your tissues out, because Leo Burnett Chicago has launched a (predictably) sappy Mother’s Day campaign for Hallmark.

For the effort, the agency asked people to describe their moms and all they do for them. The catch? The mothers are in the other room watching and can hear the whole thing. While the approach may be predictable (and far from original), it’s perfectly on-brand, and will get shared plenty in the days leading up to Mother’s Day. Hallmark is one of the earlier brands to push out its Mother’s Day campaign, but there are so many videos in the series that it makes sense to let them slowly make their way around the Internet as the holiday approaches.
