Virgin Media O2 today launches the third chapter of its ‘To Better and Beyond’ campaign, ‘Walrus Whizzer’, an integrated campaign from agency of record VCCP, which highlights the freedom that better broadband brings. Set to the soundtrack of Billy Ocean’s ‘Suddenly’, the 60” hero campaign film emulates the unstoppable feeling experienced when using Virgin Media broadband and spotlight’s the provider’s recent ‘Best Broadband Experience’ award win from GWS. The humorous and memorable film follows on from award-winning campaigns ‘Highland Rider’ and ‘Goat Glider’, this time featuring a walrus, climbing out of icy waters in a fishing harbour and hopping on to a speedboat. It hits the controls and cruises off into the distance with confused locals and a group of envious walruses looking on as it speeds away. The walrus lets out a roar of happiness as it skims across the waves.
