LONDON - Marks & Spencer's director of store marketing and design, Nayna McIntosh, will host a live web-chat with customers to topics likes its Christmas TV campaign, its Christmas catalogue and store windows.

Customers are invited to log onto facebook.com/marksandspencer and put their questions to Nayna between 1pm and 2pm.

A number of people have complained the Advertising Standards Authority claiming that M&S' star-studded TV campaign is sexist, because of ‘Life on Mars' actor Philip Glenister's comment about model Noemie Lenoir "prancing about in her underwear."

This is the second live web-chat M&S has hosted on Facebook. In June customers put questions to M&S' head of sustainable business, Mike Barry, about the retailer's Plan A - M&S' 100-point eco-plan.

McIntosh said: ‘Facebook is a fantastic platform for communicating with our customers. It's direct, responsive and popular with almost 100,000 fans of the M&S facebook site.

‘We want to hear what customers think of our marketing; what we've done well, what we've done less well and what they want more of,' McIntosh said.

It is remarkable how quickly this type of social media initiative has become mainstream ... to quote Clay Shirky: ""Tools don't get socially interesting until they get technologically boring." Facebook is now officially boring & all the better for it
