View Script

Write a short summary of what happens in the radio or audio execution or campaign.

Campaign: Our campaign tells 3 very famous fairy tales in a very different way: backwards. Starting with a happy ending, things rapidly get worse until we’re back to more humble beginnings – and beyond. It’s all to demonstrate that when things happen in reverse (like when you reverse a car) there’s not always a happy ending. Which is why the Vauxhall Astra comes with a reverse camera as standard…

Cultural / Context information for the jury

The campaign was aired in the UK to coincide with ‘Panto Season’ – a part of the year when traditional fairy tales are performed in theatres in ‘pantomimes’. They’re typically overblown, colourful, flamboyant versions of well-known stories that often play with storylines and structure – which is why we’ve taken the same approach in our ads.

This radio advert tells the well-known story of Cinderella in a very different way: backwards. Cinderella starts as a very rich woman who’s happily married to a prince. By the end…well, let’s just say she’s back to where she started. It’s all to demonstrate that when things are reversed (like when you reverse a car), they don’t always end happily. Which is why the Vauxhall Astra has a reverse camera as standard…
