| Questions | What went well? | What could be improved? | What I am going to do to make the improvements |
| 1) 3/8 | Mentioning of Santa, buildings, Manchester and Christmas as a whole | Being more specific, mention that it provides anchorage through the tag-line (“when it comes to Christmas, there’s no place like…Manchester”).
