Go green with Virgin Trains

Glue London has just launched a new integrated campaign for Virgin Trains with the claim “go greener, go cheaper“.

Virgin: The return of the train (and of Cary Grant)

Virgin Trains has launched a new advertising campaign to explain the changes they have brought to revolutionize train travel in the UK. The Tv spot is very nice but not extremely original, with Cary Grant, Jack Lemmon and other actors of the past traveling on Virgin Trains.

The tv spot can be watched on Virgin’s site. Internet advertising is also part of the effort, with ads appearing, among the others, on Lastminute.com.
