Wilkinson kicks off for Travelex

As the British and Irish Lions prepare to take on the All Blacks in Auckland this weekend, rugby star Jonny Wilkinson is appearing in his first TV and outdoor advertisements in his new role as brand ambassador for Travelex.

The national TV campaign is to promote the travel insurance and currency exchange company's price promise guarantee and will be supported by six-sheet advertising in London.

Previously, Travelex had concentrated activity in key urban areas with radio and outdoor to target high street shoppers with a retail message.

The two executions/ads liken Wilkinson's competitive edge with that of Travelex and feature the strapline "we hate to be beaten". Both ads can be seen on www.travelex.co.uk/Jonny.

The microsite will be promoted with online activity for the duration of the campaign on rugby and travel-specific sites.

Two years ago, Travelex also sponsored the Rugby World Cup.
