Milton Keynes, 1 February 2017:ŠKODA UK has today announced its new brand campaign – Driven by Something Different – featuring Sir Bradley Wiggins.
The creative focuses on ŠKODA’s new customer-led positioning, highlighting defining attitudes shared by its customers; an individual self-confidence, optimism, and a spirit that sets them apart from the predictable.
The campaign follows key moments in Wiggins‘ personal and professional life, as he reflects on his achievements; pushing himself to the limit on the peaks of northwest Wales.
Created by Fallon London, the advert is directed by acclaimed Czech film director Martin Krejci. The multi-channel campaign kicks off on 4 February with a 90 second advert which will air on ITV1 during the half time interval of the much-anticipated England vs.France Six Nations rugby opening match, as part of an ‘ITV Presents’ feature.
Speaking about the new advert, Sir Bradley Wiggins said; “I’m looking forward to the advert being released, ŠKODA has done a great job in capturing my journey through cycling. We are already preparing for the next ad which will take a lot to beat this one.”
Kirsten Stagg, Head of Marketing for ŠKODA UK, said; “From our humble beginnings as a bicycle manufacturer to the innovative automotive brand we are today, we have always prided ourselves in being driven by something different.
“As Britain’s most decorated Olympian there is no denying Sir Bradley Wiggins‘ incredible achievements. However we chose to work with him on the campaign because of who he is and what he represents as an individual; he embodies the self-confidence, unique character and spirit which sets him apart from the rest.”
