Halifax invent time travel, make ad.
Think of all you could achieve if you could travel through time. You could go back and invent Twitter, you could prevent 9/11 – you could stop Dana! Which is why I’m so surprised that given this opportunity, Halifax made an ad straight out of the 80’s.
Big soppy track (see also “True Colours” or anything by M people), harmless little vignettes of people helping -it couldn’t be more 80’s if they were all wearing leg warmers. My first thought that it was just a really old fashioned ad, but if you look really closely at the back of the choir, you’ll just catch a glimpse of Marty McFly singing his little heart out. Doc Brown must be waiting outside in the De Lorean.
Ordinarily I’d at least credit them with avoiding putting a “Find us on Facebook” logo on the end frame (where else would we find your facebook page?), but since Facebook hadn’t been invented back when this ad was written…
Still, inventing Facebook, that’s one to add to the list.
