Cheetham Bell has created a series of “fishy” idents as part of United Utilities’ sponsorship of ITV weather in the North West.
The 5 and 10 second idents will run throughout the summer in the Granada and Border regions, to encourage people to save water.
“From only boiling the water you need for your morning cuppa, to making sure your wet wipes go in the bin and not down the loo, our characterful fish are here to say well done for upping your water efficiency (and that they’d clap if they could),” said Creative Director, Martin Smith.
The films were directed by Simon Neal via The Gate and the six sets of ads are voiced by comedians including Justin Moorhouse, Tez Ilyas and Sarah Speare.
Each show will welcome live audiences in line with the current government roadmap out of lockdown. The opening programme of socially distanced gigs kicks off with BBC Folk Awards Best Duo nominees, Belshazzer’s Feast on Thursday, May 27. Other programme highlights include Mercury Prize nominee and I Am Kloot frontman John Bramwell, who takes to the stage on Friday 28 May, performing tracks from his debut solo album and Kloot classics. Director, DJ, author and broadcaster Don Letts looks back on his exceptional life on Saturday 29 May, as part of his There and Black Again book tour. With tales of befriending Bob Marley after sneaking into his hotel room and touring with The Clash, Don discusses Black Lives Matter, his new book and treading his own path.
