Barrhead Travel's Massive Holiday Sale

Our newest TV ad is making waves among the travel industry 📺 Travel Weekly recently assessed the messaging, targeting and inspiration of peak campaigns across the travel industry and Barrhead Travel's new TV campaign was named as one of the best! Here's what they had to say 👇👇 “It’s always good to see a traditional travel agency brand advertising on television and Barrhead Travel’s turn-of-year campaign is a strong effort that will undoubtedly catch the attention of sofa-seated consumers. At first sight, Barrhead’s advertisement looks like any other standard holiday sector TV offering, with clip after clip of sun, sea, sand and high-octane activities. However, creativity and direction lift the Barrhead advert and make it stand out from the competition through its use of one of the ‘marketing laws’ for beating habituation – contrast. The collection of images of holiday destinations and activities strung together in an alternating sequence – from highly active scenes to ‘just chilling’ scenes, and from the rousing music bed of Bizet’s Carmen Suite No 1 to quiet sea breezes and sounds of nature – is incredibly effective in demonstrating that whatever you want from your holiday, Barrhead can provide it. And all this is set against on-screen messages about a massive sale, low deposits, spreading the cost and free kids’ places – all great calls to action. It’s simple and powerful, and just what you want from your TV advertisement.” You can read the full article here: https://bit.ly/3vRVPf3 Watch our ad below and let us know what you think in the comments!
