The male creative consists of a car colour palette, allowing users to visualise the car in a range of different colours, as well as video elements.

David Amodio, Digital and Creative, Channel 4 said: “This is great example of Channel 4 bringing together our viewer data strategy alongside our innovative suite of 40D ad formats to offer advertisers the chance to target the right audiences with impactful and engaging creative.”
