A preview of our first ever TV ad

Do you remember our tube, bus and newspaper ads? Now, we’re taking over your telly! It’s the first time Gumtree has ever done a TV ad and we’re really excited about it.

We wanted to involve you in our ad, so we put an ad on Gumtree for some voice talent a few weeks ago. Thank you for all your wonderful responses. We managed to narrow our choices down to 4 voices. Wondering who they are? Meet our stars, Karla, SomaJohn and Emer.

And now the ad’s ready. We’ve decided to let you have a preview of it first before it goes live on TV. What do you think of it?

Everytime My spouse and i end up getting 1 of those types of phone calls We typically hang up instantly yet this guy states of the fact that it supplies a extremely affordable way for you to create potential customers.

  20. Podge says:

    Implies that Gumtree is only about buying and selling, but conveys the message simply and effectively. Hopefully when people check out the website they will discover that it offers far more than just buying and selling. I would certainly much rather see this advert than a Churchill or Go Compare! advert, for example. ;)
