ITV has not always been immediately associated with great creativity. But the broadcaster’s new campaign, by Uncommon Creative Studio, elevates its advertising to a different class. Two familiar characters – Roger Allam as Detective Inspector Fred Thursday from Endeavour and Brenda Blethyn as DCI Vera Stanhope from Vera – deliver compelling monologues that highlight the power of storytelling. Stylish, well-written and gorgeously shot – I can’t wait to see the other characters who take the spotlight during this campaign.
