NTL:Telewest will this weekend launch the first TV ads to promote its £20m rebrand as Virgin Media, MediaGuardian.co.uk can reveal.

The TV ad campaign, which features a voiceover by Uma Thurman, consists of two 15-second "teaser" ads.

The first of the teaser ads, created by Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R, will air on ITV1 during Dancing on Ice.

In addition, from tomorrow 13 giant poster sites across the country will feature an ad using the line "Why shouldn't you be able to download something this big?".

....Both the TV and outdoor ads, which feature the Virgin Media infinity logo, highlight February 8 as the launch date of the main campaign.

"This is the biggest Virgin company in the world and the biggest Virgin launch ever," said James Kydd, managing director of Virgin Media marketing.
"We want to get people thinking, and build a sense of anticipation."

"...Sky has been anticipating us with huge amounts of volume [of PR and advertising] at the moment. I love the fact that Murdoch says this is just a name change."

i've seen the outline of the logo flashing up between the adverts on Living TV tonight for a split second.

they should run as a advert the first part of the Cinema Training Video. Slighly cheeky and amusing.

Thought of the day:

If you go down the scrap yard and spray an old Skoda red, isn't it still just an old Skoda with a new paint job?

If all you do is spray it then yes, if you change the engine, the body, the wheels etc. then it's no longer a skoda. They've already proved they've reuced call waiting times. I don't know what other changes have been implemented myself internally, will have to ask someone in the heart of it at Customer Services what's changed. New systems?

One thing that remains is a lot of staff, but im my experience of Virgin when my wife worked there at the Virgin One Account, they don't suffer fools gladly, if you arn't pulling your weight you are likely not to get your contract renewed.

I think its been demonstrated on this board with people plying us with information and help that there are good staff there, i myself was stopped from leaving by someone on this board who shall remain namess (otherwise he will get a flood of emails) but is a perfect example of good customer services.
