Stephen Foster in ‘More about Advertising’ writes
.. BT is embarking on another of its epic series through AMV BBDO, this time showing the ‘behind the scenes reality’ of advertising to plug BT’s sports-focused television service.
This is fraught with hazards as viewers may come to the conclusion that everybody in advertising – and therefore all advertising – is mad.
Here’s the first ad with Ewan McGregor demanding to know what all the fuss is about, consigning footballers Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Robin Van Persie to the sidelines (where the latter spends most of his time anyway). Plus the agency creative team.
Later ads will feature other well-known thesps and sports stars and also, it seems, the ‘BT client’ and other such executives.
Are you sure you really want to do this AMV?
