Virgin Media together with VCCP London releases ‘Why walk when you can ride?’ an integrated brand campaign to launch Virgin Media’s WiFi guarantee, demonstrating the internet provider’s commitment to delivering superior connectivity, reliability, and speed. The light-hearted and playful campaign will roll out throughout the UK across multiple formats and leads with a hero 60” film, ‘Highland Rider’, directed by award-winning director, Jeff Low and will premiere during the England Women’s international friendly football match against the USA on ITV. Supported by a 30” spot, the film depicts the story of a highland cow who, inspired by epic biking scenes she's seen streamed over Virgin Media WiFi, goes to better and beyond by taking to the tarmac on a motorbike.The cinematic TVC opens on a close up of a highland cow’s face, with a view of the Scottish Highlands landscape behind. As the iconic backing track from Dirty Dancing ‘She’s Like The Wind’ by Patrick Swayze begins to build, the camera pulls out to reveal an eye catching scene of the cow roaring along on a motorbike as she embarks on her own adventure. The viewer accompanies the ride with her for a while, and then, with the wind in her hair, she races off into the distance. The campaign strapline ‘Why walk when you can ride?’ voiced by celebrated actor, Peter Mullen, brings the film to a close and aims to leave viewers with the feeling of never settling for slow when you can have fast.
