And finally for this month, hats off to Leeds Sharks who have helped promote Aldi’s Sensations Shampoo in a commercial for the supermarket on socials…

“Have you tried our Sensations shampoo? It’s highly recommended by the Leeds Sharks Water Polo Club. So much so, we decided to send them a team supply to keep them on their A-game.

That’s… sensational!”
