The actual TV spot ends with the lines ‘Discover the power of TV advertising at and ‘Television: where brands get their breaks’.
The campaign will run across the TV channels of Thinkbox shareholders and members, including: Channel 4, Five, GMTV, ITV, Sky Media, and Turner Media Innovations.
Media planning and buying has been handled by MediaCom.

It won several industry awards, including D&AD, the BTAAs, and at the APA.
Lindsey Clay, marketing director at Thinkbox, said: "We have so much evidence proving how effective TV advertising is, but there’s nothing quite like seeing it work for yourself – as we did last year – to convince you to have more. We hope this new ad will be as well received and successful as our first."
