Freesat launches first TV campaign

March 31, 2009 16.47 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Freesat advertisement (April 2009)The free-to-air satellite platform Freesat will go live with its first TV advertising campaign on April 1.

The campaign features two ads in which a main character enjoys the Freesat service day after day.

Produced by The Farm, the ads were shot using super fast HD stills cameras, and required over 18,000 stills to make up the 320 shots used in each advertisement.

The campaign will launch on ITV1 during coverage of the England v Ukraine World Cup Qualifier. It has been timed to coincide with Easter, one of the key sales periods in the retail calendar.

The BBC-ITV owned platform says it is now close to recording 300,000 sales.
