Award-winning comedian Diane Morgan stars in our bold new Red Funnel ad.
We’ve enlisted the talents of comedian Diane Morgan (star of Ann Droid, Cunk and Mandy) for a bold new TV and social campaign for our client Red Funnel Isle of Wight Ferries.
The campaign features the BAFTA and Emmy nominated actor and writer delivering a series of deadpan responses to some of the island’s most distinctive attractions and
specialities. From dinosaur fossils and red squirrels to blue wine and garlic ice cream.
Launching this September, the new campaign deliberately turns traditional destination advertising on its head.
Whilst many rely on a familiar blueprint of soothing soundtracks, slow motion camera moves, and generic characters, Red Funnel wanted to flip the script. The result is an
entertaining homage to the Isle of Wight's individuality, unique natural landscape and local quirks, all of which keep visitors returning generation after generation.
The ads were written by Robin Upshon, directed by Jon Drever, and filmed/produced by Mambo Media.
