Freeview hidden camera digital ads restart

The ads show the impressionist character Freddy (played by stand-up comedian Joseph Wilson), treating cinema-goers to free tickets whilst mimicking famous TV and film stars, all captured by hidden cameras.

Freeview has released the latest in a series of humorous digital ads designed to showcase the benefits of free services to unsuspecting cinema-goers.

The ‘Entertainment. It’s Even Better When it’s Free’ campaign, produced by Leo Burnett, runs online and on video-on-demand across 4oD and ITV Player, in addition to a dedicated website.

The ads show the impressionist character Freddy (played by stand-up comedian Joseph Wilson), treating cinema-goers to free tickets whilst mimicking famous TV and film stars, all captured by hidden cameras.

The ads were directed by Adam Wimpenny for Jack Morton Worldwide. Media and planning is by MEC.

James Chambers, the partnership marketing manager at Freeview said: “Freddy comes on the heels of our much-loved ‘left behinds’ and ‘#CatAndBudgie’ integrated campaigns.

“This online-only activity still focuses on surprising moments of entertainment: by catching people just as they’re ready to pay, their expressions prove that entertainment really is better when it’s free.”

The first two videos, set in a cinema and theatre respectively, go live today with the third to be released in March 2015.
