This Visit England ad works so seamlessly with its website that it looks as though it is a website. But there’s something really weird about it. It feels like one of those ads where the planner’s insight has dominated the creative’s execution. At the end of the commercial, a soothing female voiceover explains what it was all about. “However long you’ve got, there are thousands of ways to enjoy every minute of England. At Enjoy England dot com.” Uh? - Robert Campbell, co-founder, Campbell Lace (Beta)
Visit England’s ad made me think of MasterCard - but, then, I guess a lot of stuff makes me think of MasterCard. The issue for me is that MasterCard poses a problem and then gives you a resolution and because I was in priceless-mode, I was expecting one from this ad. Which might be unfair, but when you write whatever = number these days, you are competng with serious GRPs - Fernanda Romano, outgoing creative diretor, JWT
That’s what they think. What do you think?
CST in conjunction with the COI have launched a new multimedia campaign for Visit England to encourage people to take more trips in England.
The campaign sets out to make people view their time differently and see any spare time as an opportunity to take a trip in England. So whether you’ve got a lunch hour or an afternoon, or fancy a day out or a weekend away, enjoyEngland.com can help you can use that time to make the most of what England has to offer.
The TV commercial comprises a series of stunning aerial photographs of England by Richard Cooke and the voice of Helena Bonham-Carter, illustrating the different ways people can spend their time enjoying every minute in England.
The campaign also consists of outdoor, cinema, magazine supplements and online.
This from Brand Republic, 22nd April 2009…
The Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform has shortlisted Chick Smith Trott, Delaney Lund Knox Warren & Partners and VCCP to pitch for an employment rights campaign.
COI will hold the pitch on Thursday (23 April) for the campaign, which will run over the next two years.
The national campaign will aim to raise awareness among workers of their specific rights enforced by the Government, and help with getting workers their entitlements.
Since 1997, the Government has set in place a framework of employment rights, including the right to a minimum wage, the right to 24 days paid leave (increasing to 28 days this month), and the right to not work more than a 48-hour average working week.
Last year, the Government published a final report outlining how it would ensure that all workers benefited from these workplace rights. The Government’s Vulnerable Worker Enforcement Forum, which was established in June 2007, looked at the nature and scale of the abuse of workers’ rights. Its findings were published last August.
