Vodafone have released a new advert illustrating the ways that we keep connected during the coronavirus lock down. The ad features a Beatles classic cover song.
In the commercial we see families and friends waking up to another day in lock down and abiding by government advice to stay at home. We see how people are managing to stay connected, keep working and enjoy family life in these strange and challenging times.
The advert says how Vodafone are “Keeping it going, Keeping it real and Keeping it interesting”. The ad concludes by telling viewers “Every day we’re working hard to maintain our network, so even when we’re apart, nothing can stop us being together”.
As with many adverts during spring 2020, this commercial has a positive vibe about it. Encouraging viewers to keep at it while also highlighting the benefits that the brand can bring to these new circumstances that people around the world find themselves in.
