VIDEO: David Tennant Narrates New Dogs Trust Advert

 


David Tennant has lent his vocal talents to a new advertising campaign by the Dogs Trust.

The new campaign, the charity say, aims to challenge outdated and incorrect perceptions held by the public about rescue dogs and launches tonight with an ad, Trained For Love, created by agency Kitcatt Nohr and showing various dogs being put through their paces to get them ready for their new owners.

Adrian Burder, marketing director at Dogs Trust, said: “This ad is beautiful, and anyone who loves dogs will be moved by it. We expect a lot of interest from people who can give a new home to a Dogs Trust dog as a result. The idea of 'Trained for Love' is a wonderful way to describe the amazing work our centres do with stray and abandoned dogs.”

Paul Kitcatt of Kitcatt Nohr, added: “Dogs Trust is a fantastic organisation, and a great client. This ad follows our successful fundraising TV work last year, and takes us into new territory. The idea is simple but utterly charming, and you would need a heart of stone to resist the appeal of our canine stars.”

Please note that the ad may have an alternative voice artist in some regions.

Dogs Trust (formerly the National Canine Defence League) is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK. Their mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction. They care for around 16,000 dogs at their nationwide network of 18 rehoming centres and vow that no healthy dog is ever destroyed.

AUDIO: David Tennant Heinz Radio Ad Wins Award

The radio ad for Heinz Tomato Soup, 'Cold', voiced by David Tennant has won the Radio Advertising Bureau's Aerial Award for November.

Will Audry, creative partner of Ogilvy and Mather and a judge of the awards said,
"...the Heinz spot stands out for its simplicity and class. David Tennant doesn't sound like he's selling, just telling. It's not overwritten. It puts tomato soup very much in mind and, having listened to a good selection of contenders, it was still in mind days later. An enjoyable piece of descriptive realism delivered memorably by a convincing performance. Nicely judged and nice to judge."

The ad was created by Paul Burke of Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO and was written specifically for David; in fact all of the ads in the long-running Heinz radio campaign are created especially for their readers. Burke said,
"Heinz are true to life. They pick the person carefully – it is hard to find people with recognisable voices. No one has turned down the Heinz radio ad after being asked; it’s a bit like 'Desert Island Discs'."

David Tennant Stars In New Virgin Media Ad Campaign

David Tennant has signed up to be the new face of a Virgin Media Ad Campaign.

The Coventry Telegraph reports:
SIR Richard Branson conquers time travel alongside former Doctor Who David Tennant in a new campaign promoting Virgin Media's latest offering.
The multimillion-pound promotion is the latest to feature the Virgin founder alongside a celebrity and marks the launch of a new range of media bundles entitled Virgin Media Collections.
The first ad will screen during Britain's Got Talent on ITV1 tomorrow and opens with David Tennant in front of the television "time travelling" through his own back catalogue using the service.

Subsequent ads show the two men in a "meditative" scene reassuring customers that they will never miss their favourite shows, with Sir Richard performing a calming whale song.
A Virgin Media campaign earlier this year starred Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt mimicking Sir Richard to promote its superfast broadband service and follows separate ads for the TiVo digital television service.
Virgin Media director of advertising and sponsorship Richard Larcombe said: "Building on the huge success of our recent TiVo campaign and Usain Bolt and Richard in our superfast broadband ads, the new Collections creative brings together the best of both in a fully integrated offering.
"The new work uses the superiority of our products to deliver on value, simplicity and choice, all signed and sealed with a Virgin sense of humour."
The campaign will also screen online and in cinemas.
