Following the success of Twinings' heart-warming, animated advert 'Sea', that resulted in a number three in the official top 40 and racked up 1.4 million hits on YouTube, the tea maker is planning to launch its next instalment, entitled 'Hill', on 4th March.

This, the sequel advert is part of Twinings' integrated campaign with the strapline'Gets You Back To You'. It tells the story of a woman overcoming obstacles, symbolised by a hill, to reach a place of perspective and features a moving and contemporary cover of Fleetwood Mac'sGo Your Own Wayby American folk-rock starlet, Lissie.

The first advert, entitled 'Sea', featuring Charlene Soraia's evocative cover of The Calling's Wherever You Will Go,originally aired in October and marked Twinings' shift into emotional advertising. The track can still be downloaded from iTunes.

The advert was heavily viewed on Twinings YouTube channel and the hugely popular song rapidly climbed through the charts reaching number three, was named Scott Mills' record of the week and sung by Sophie Habibis on ITV's X Factor. 

Both adverts, created by AMV in London and Psyop in LA, illustrate the restorative, emotional properties of Twinings teas.  The campaign 'Gets You Back To You' urges busy, multi-tasking women to Take 10 quality minutes out every day, with Twinings, to reconnect.

Sean Summers, Marketing Director from Twinings, commented:

"We had a fantastic response to our first advert and were inundated with phenomenal feedback - often hearing that it stirred a few emotions.   The message, that busy women should take 10 minutes to get back to themselves, resonates strongly.

"Moving into this new area of emotional advertising was unchartered territory for us.  However, now we can see the Gets You Back To You ethos spreading and that consumers were moved by the advert, we hope our next instalment will be equally if not, even more positively received.

"At the start of the campaign, we joked in the office that we hoped our song would appear in the top 10 or feature on X Factor, so you can imagine our extreme surprise and delight when it did.  This time, here's hoping for a number one and a spot on Britain's Got Talent."

Keep an eye on our website as we'll be bringing you our brand new advertising here first, so keep your eyes peeled.  The 'red carpet premier' of the advert will be aired on our youtube channel and  Facebook page exclusively on 24th February, so make sure you settle in for your front row seat.  We're very excited...
