The advert clearly makes a significant visual impact, and helps to position Virgin Media TV as a business that is innovating and helping to redefine television, however, stylistically the creative is no more advanced than any contemporary pop video that you might find on MTV or similar channels. The animation, despite being distinctive, fails to support Jackson's dialogue which is already confusing and fragmented. The animation and particularly the text which is presented on screen is asynchronous with the dialogue and only serves to distract the viewer further, rather than helping to reinforce some of the core messages around VOD which are quite important and could be far more powerful if presented differently. 'You say what's on', 'TV starts when you say', 'The pick of the week's TV', 'There is never nothing on' etc. Indeed, we feel the title of this campaign and the concept of 'mix-up' is more suited to a younger, broadband-enabled demographic who are unlikely to embrace pay television and the contractual commitments it requires, such groups are more likely to gravitate to low-cost broadband, free VOD services, P2P content sharing and user-generated content sites. Other companies like BT and Rogers may be far more 'on-the-money' when they focus in their campaigns on the family and show VOD as a way of providing immediate entertainment for the kids at a time when parents need a break. With this campaign, we imagine that Virgin are aiming for the 'couch commander'. Unfortunately these groups are saving up for Sky HD and a new Plasma TV. We think there is more mileage in Virgin aiming at families which are short on time and patience and looking for cost savings and empty nesters who are looking to upgrade their TV experience, go online and also manage their costs. Following their use of Uma Thurman in 2007, we wonder why Virgin remain so obsessed about using Hollywood celebrities. If it is to reinforce themselves as an entertainment brand, then we are not convinced as the value of Pay TV and VOD is not soley based on blockbuster movies from the US. Free on-demand access to domestically produced TV programming is even more important to UK viewers than US movies and Virgin should recognise this. In our view, the 'guest appearance' of an actor in a TV campaign doesn't hold the same currency as a carefully chosen clip from a highly desirable programme. If Virgin are looking for these celebrities to 'endorse' their product offering, then Ms Thurman and Mr Jackson (who not only live outside of Virgin's franchise area, but outside the UK) are not the right people either! Whilst it is important for the company to raise awareness, build an identity and claim some exclusive territory in the TV landscape, we think Virgin Media are trying to run before they can walk. Yes Virgin need to reinvigorate the old NTL / Telewest products with Virgin identity, Virgin brand values, however they still have some basic education to do before they can use VOD as the banner to drive their business forward. We think that many viewers in the UK, (particularly those that are yet to convert to digital), are still struggling to understand VOD. Virgin need to clearly establish what the value proposition of their VOD offer is, particularly at a time when PC-based services such as the BBC's iPlayer and Channel 4's 4oD service are causing confusion amongst consumers about what VOD actually is, and at the same time undermining the technology leadership that UK cable briefly owned in the VOD space. If Virgin want to engage audiences on the subject of VOD, they need to start at the very beginning and clarify the offer and this clearly needs a more gentle approach than we see in this campaign. Whilst Virgin Media have been able to hold on to the coat tails of BSkyB when it comes to generating awareness about pay television, PVR's and HDTV, for VOD, Virgin are on their own and are trying to lead with a product which isn't yet widely understood. www.mixituptv.com (Less)

He did his first gig in 1994, and his fourth gig (the final of the 1995 BBC New Comedy Awards alongside Lee Mack, Daniel Kitson and Julian Barratt) was shown on BBC1's Stand-Up Show. Other awards he has failed to win include the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year (prize-winning runner-up 2000), the Liverpool Echo Arts and Entertainment Award (the only person to be nominated twice: always the sodding bridesmaid), the Perrier Best Newcomer (not even nominated for that one), the Time Out Award (didn't get entry form in on time), the F.A. cup (not a football team), numerous Academy Awards, and so on. The list gets longer every day. He did, however, win the 2000 BAF 'Out There' award for Artistic Courage, for a show at the Bakewell Arts Festival, where they were genuinely expecting folk music. Silky has performed internationally, including gigs in China, the Philippines, the Gulf, Singapore, the US, the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and all over Europe, including at the Glastonbury Festival, where no-one lobbed bottles of wee, much to his relief. He performed at the 2004 God's Kitchen Global Gathering, the 2005 Big Bang at Santa Pod, and in the houseband for the Kilkenny Festival. He is also the evil mastermind behind the Kill for a Seat Comedy clubs across the UK, and has performed with the Comedy Store's MEN at Work satirical team and Monkey Lab Improv. A tall, versatile, funny and very likeable performer, whether you need an MC, an extended set, or simply something down from the top of a cupboard... Silky headlined the inaugural Frampton Mansell comedy festival, the world's smallest. He acted in 'All Shorts' for Club West (winners of the coveted Spirit of the Fringe award), and presented WorldArt Media's TV Stage in Princes Street Gardens for Telewest. He compered the Big Value Comedy Show at the 2003 Edinburgh Fringe (**** Edfringe.com), the final of the FHM Com and has played from Manila to Berlin, Belfast to Prague, Shanghai to Croydon, but he's never been to me, and actually enjoys making people laugh. Indoor work with no heavy lifting? Lovely. In Winter 2003 he headlined his own 30-date tour of the UK and Ireland as an exercise in humility, and is doing so again this year. He acted in a pilot for SO TV that was bought for broadcast by Disney, and will never show the tape as Bee Costumes are involved. Warm-up work includes Strictly Come Dancing for BBC1, a Saturday evening primetime show attracting 9.1 million viewers. He's always doing interesting stuff. Television appearances include 'The Stand-Up Show' (BBC1), 'James Campbell's Silly Experiment' (SO TV/Disney Worldwide), 'Coronation Street' and 'Gagging for It' (Granada), The Loafers (BBC Digital), 'Hollyoaks' and 'Brookside' (Mersey TV), 'Heartbeat' and 'Rhinoceros' (Yorkshire TV), Sky TV, The Superchannel (Denmark) and Channel 6. Radio appearances include BBC 5Live, Capital FM, TalkRadio, a residency on Juice FM, Star FM, BBC Radios Sheffield, Oxfordshire and Merseyside. Corporate work includes events for Nissan, UMIST, Help The Aged, Tubedale Films, Mitchell & Butler plc. Immediate PR (FHM/Holsten Pils), God's Kitchen and many others. Warm-up work includes BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing. Does not appear on photographic film. Press acclaim for Silky.... 'Silky was upsettingly funny, biting without alienating the audience... left me with aching stomach muscles, teary eyes and a need to buy more anti-wrinkle cream for the laughter lines around my eyes.' - BBC Online (Liverpool Comedy Festival review)?'Most remarkable.. His ability to play the hardest rooms is legendary amongst comedians' - - Liverpool Echo 'Hugely impressive' -Leicester Mercury?'Always a delight to watch, weaving his pre-prepared material seamlessly into his off-the-cuff stuff. His set is energetically charged with gently quirky material and plenty surprises along the way. Effortless.. simply a comedy natural' --City Life 'You'll laugh 'til your sides split.' City Weekend (Shanghai) 'One of those naturally funny people.. his irresistible stage persona combines angriness with silliness' Manchester Online 'Consistently entertaining: biting banter and quirky observations' -Metro 'One of the nicest comics on the circuit, Silky makes rooms rock. More addictive than Crack' --Leeds Guide 'I didn't expect to laugh, but I did.' - Sandi Toksvig (1995) For more info contact killforaseat.com or Brett Vincent - brett@underbelly.co.uk www.myspace.com/brettvincent1 (Less)
