Richard Branson's most famous brand, Virgin Atlantic Airlines is 25 years old this year. And to celebrate and promote itself, Virgin have just launched a cracking new ad campaign here in the UK, complete with the tag line "25 years - still red hot".
The ad harks back 25 years to 1984, when hair was big, braces were in, and mobile phones needed their own suitcase. While Virgin has in recent years been trying to promote itself as a more upmarket, cool, sophisticated airline, this advert gets right back to heart of the brand's values - fun, cheeky and a little bit sexy. Weather that's true of the actual flying experience is another matter, but it's nice to see someone trying to put the fun back into flying in a quintessentially British way!
Worth it just for the Frankie Goes To Hollywood soundtrack (!), you can see the ad by clicking below.
