The effortless, enjoyable experience of rail travel is brought to life in a campaign for U.K. train operator Avanti West Coast created by adam&eveDDB in London--and starring a rollerblading turtle.
“Feel Good Travel” follows the joyous journey of a turtle who skillfully ducks and dives through the streets of London on its rollerblades, avoiding the tedium of traffic jams and roadworks and effortlessly escaping to the countryside--much to the surprise of a horse and some sheep.
The idea is to remind people that travel is about so much more than the destination, and evoke the unmatchable sensation that a super speedy Avanti West Coast train journey gives us.
Directed by Tom Kuntz of MJZ, the :60 was shot by DP Justin Brown, with visual effects from Untold Studios.
Kate Squires, marketing director, Avanti West Coast said, “We really want to inject a feel good vibe when people think about traveling with us. That’s the purpose of this campaign.
