Cadbury looks to airports for ‘gorilla’ follow-up

Cadbury has revealed its much-anticipated follow-up to the ‘gorilla’ Dairy Milk ad, is to be called ‘airport trucks’. The new ad, which like “gorilla” has been created by Fallon, is described as a “magical airport truck race” in which a small one-man vehicle plays the role of an underdog in a midnight race against an assortment of bigger and faster trucks, such as a baggage transporter and motorised stairs.

The ad is light-hearted and fun in line with its predecessor, but unlike “gorilla” it will not feature a Phil Collins track. Apparently, “airport trucks” will feature an unnamed soft rock track from the late 1970s or early 1980s.

I look forward with some anticipation to seeing the T5 passengers baggage hurtling down the runway apron to the tune of REO Speedwagon (see what I did there – speedwagon).

Lets hope the ad is better than the service at T5.

The ad was written by Juan Cabral, the Fallon creative director who also created “gorilla”

The ad will be posted here once it has aired.

Ok so the ad is out and to be honest I think i’d have preferred the REO Speedwagon version I had in my head. Still, on the T5 angle somebody has already managed to spoof ‘airport trucks’ and as it has hardly changed from the original this is the one shown above.

Enjoy (unless you’ve flown British Airways recently).
