Thomson is launching a campaign to showcase the special moments it provides for holidaymakers at its resorts, ahead of its rebrand to TUI late 2017. Created by London agency RKCR/Y&R, the campaign includes this TV spot which shows a little girl’s journey from beach to pool, as she encounters mini holiday “moments” on the way frozen in time around her, before jumping into her father’s arms in a climactic end sequence. Throughout we see familiar holiday scenes such a game of bat and ball on the beach, a little girl playfully pouring water over her sunbathing father and a couple sharing wine over lunch.
The TV ad was created by Nicola Wood and Andy Forrest of RKCR/Y&R, and directed by Scott Lyon through Outsider.
Shot at the Thomson Platinum resort Aquila Rithymna Beach in Crete, the work is set to an original music composition created especially for the campaign by Icelandic artist Biggi Hilmars.
