This Virgin Media advert titled ‘Inspired’ featuring a cover version of Girl On Fire by Alicia Keys focuses on the power of the internet to inspire.
IN the commercial we see a young girl called Grace watching online videos of her favourite football player Steph Houghton. Her mum then switches to a video showing one of her own childhood sporting hero – Nadia Comăneci; a Romanian gymnast who famously scored a perfect 10 in the Olympics.
Grace is impressed by what she sees. Her mum goes on to do a Google search for ‘women who rock’. This then allows the mother and daughter to watch more inspirational woman such as British suffragette Emmelin Pankhurst, singer, activist (and TV advert music contributor) Paloma Faith and American jazz singer Billie holiday.
The advert concludes by with the message ‘When you have a better internet connection, you get more out of it’. The commercial manages to show the perfect demonstration of the power of being connected and helping people do more.
