As the year comes to an end, we’re excited to be whipping off the covers to reveal an all-new look for our brand advertising in 2018.
But first, we must say goodbye to a reed.co.uk icon.
James Reed – not the real one! – has been fronting reed.co.uk’s brand advertising for the last six years. But the time has now come for him to hang up his armour / cape / spacesuit etc…
So why the change?
Like any market-leading brand, we need to move with the times, stay relevant and build for our future success. And, with a nod and a heartfelt thanks to our James Reed character, we’re about to start a new chapter in the evolution of the reed.co.uk brand.
Our latest campaign delivers new ads with wide-ranging appeal, specifically and deliberately amongst those hard-to-reach, hard-to-impress, ambitious young professionals – the audience with which every brand strives to connect.
And so, after detailed consumer research, our advertising focus now turns to that feeling you get when you Love Mondays: the expression of joy that you love your job – and love every Monday.
All-new ads
We’ll be unveiling four new TV commercials and a whole new look for our digital and outdoor advertising in January. Our ads will focus on those expressions of Monday love: expressions which wow us, entertain us, thrill us and make us laugh. They’re extreme and often ridiculous because they’re born of passion – and love. And there’s one thing they always have the power to do: ask a simple question:
‘Do YOU have a job which makes you love Mondays?’
Because if you don’t, reed.co.uk is here to help you find one.
Coming in January – stills from the latest ads:
