While not quite matching England’s 52 years of hurt, it seems a very long time indeed since BA produced any creative work that is deserving of its long and distinguished advertising history. And then it quickly turns around this outstanding little piece of communications that is subtle (check out the little details), funny and clever and strikes exactly the right chord without being awkward or opportunistic. Breaking on social channels before England’s quarter-final thriller against Sweden and then appearing in print and outdoor, this is a belter of a tactical ad and hopefully promises much for BA’s relationship with its (relatively) new agency.
