JC Penney Doodle Heart promotes Romance
JC Penney makes a bid for the school market with ‘Doodle Heart’, a TV ad in which a young girl’s secret declarations of love are exposed around her school.

The school girl sits at her desk, writing her secret love heart. All of a sudden it disappear, mysteriously appearing publicly on a desk, the blackboard, a locker door, the back of a jumper, on a noticeboard. To the accompaniment of Henry Mancini’s Love Story theme, the girl chases her doodles through the school, ending up in the dining room where her love interest is eating. She throws herself down the dining table to meet him face to face, just as he uncovers the doodle heart: “SH + CM”.
The super: “Today’s the day to get up the nerve. JC Penney. Every Day Matters.”
