| Philosophie | Royal Mail has unveiled the first major new campaign featuring the end line “In Good Hands”. It celebrates the hardworking people we know and love who deliver our parcels - the posties - and the role that the company’s new innovations play in their hands. Developed by AMV BBDO, the campaign launches at one of Royal Mail’s busiest times of the year, with around double the number of parcels and stamped letters sent over the festive period compared to usual. The campaign recognises the important role their postal workers play during the festive season while spotlighting new innovations, such as the free Parcel Collect service and new-and-improved Royal Mail app, which keeps customers connected more seamlessly, door-to-door, all year-round. Directed by Tom Green through Stink Films, the 30 and 60-second versions will run on digital, social and video-on-demand platforms. As part of this campaign, a 30-second film introduces the free Parcel Collect services, complemented by a full suite of social and digital ads across platforms. |
