The challenge
The challenge
Following a period of reduced scale and absence from ITV, the brand required a step-change: from short-term bursts to a sustained, high-impact TV strategy capable of delivering both emotional engagement and measurable commercial return.
Key supporting objectives were to:
Reintroduce Fred. Olsen into premium broadcast environments to restore scale and credibility.
Maximise effectiveness across modern viewing behaviours through a combined linear, sponsorship and BVOD approach.
Increase reach and effective frequency against a valuable, older audience.
Deliver stronger ROI efficiency than previous TV activity.

The breakthrough
The breakthrough
Our solution was a layered TV ecosystem, built around the Moments creative concept, designed to operate continuously rather than intermittently. At its core was Channel 4 Escapism sponsorship, delivering an always-on presence within highly relevant travel and escapism content. This created sustained visibility, emotional alignment and contextual relevance, embedding the brand in environments that naturally reflect its proposition.
This was amplified through high-impact linear TV bursts, delivering scale, quality and premium positioning. Increased use of 30” creative allowed for deeper storytelling, reinforcing the emotional strength of the campaign.
We integrated BVOD and streaming throughout to extend reach, capture incremental audiences, and reinforce messaging in on-demand environments where attention is close and targeting is more precise.
