Specsavers launches new ‘Fishing Trip’ TVC as part of ‘Should’ve gone to Specsavers’ platform

Specsavers has launched a new TV spot called ‘Fishing Trip’, which builds on its award-winning ‘Should’ve Gone To Specsavers’ campaign.

 

The campaign has captivated the brand’s audiences in major global markets for over twenty years.

The 30-second ad features a father and son on a fishing adventure – the two of them settled on a boat in the middle of a lake among beautiful mountains. The story introduces us to a young man with a worried look on his face, asking his dad if he has seen the boat keys. “Nope,” his father responds, cluelessly, as the spot shows him casting his fishing rod with the keys attached to it instead of a fishing lure. “I could stay out here forever,” the viewer hears the father remark as the iconic tagline appears on screen.

A globally coordinated effort, created by Specsavers’ in-house creative team, The Agency, the campaign was shot in and around Otago, NZ. The campaign, which has just launched in Australia, will be adapted for use across Specsavers markets in New Zealand and Canada.
