'Chav' was named buzzword of the year in a language report from the Oxford University Press last week. It has been defined as a person who follows a particular fashion, which includes branded baseball caps and/or big gold jewellery.
The theme will appear as part of 3's 'Critters' advertising. Initially, the characters, wearing a Burberry baseball cap and heavy jewellery, will appear in posters in 3 outlets nationwide, promoting accessories such as branded hands-free kits, phone cases and headsets.
The ads will use the straplines 'Need something nice to go with your new mobile' and 'Buy your new mobile something nice.'
