Tesco Mobile and BBH have released a campaign to celebrate the supermarket’s commitment to helping its customers.

The TV ad, created by BBH with media executed by Mediacom, sees the first outing of the helpful Tesco Mobile trolley on an epic mission to save a customer from an imminent price hike.

The trolley can’t help but assist people along the way - from scaring away a fox rifling in a bin, to helping a boy who’s struggling to get up a hill on his bike - before finally reaching a distressed customer, to save them from their mid-contract price increase.

Meanwhile, the latest campaign is also supported by three OOH food-inspired creatives.

Rachel Swift, Tesco Mobile CMO, said, “We know how hard it is this year with the rising cost of living, so it’s important now more than ever, to provide Tesco shoppers with an unrivalled mobile experience that they can’t get from other networks – like being truly helpful and offering exclusive rewards.”

Uche Ezugwu, BBH creative director, said, “Tesco Mobile is a challenger brand in the noisy world of telecoms. We created an idea that would right the wrongs of the industry, showing how Tesco Mobile is the customer champion. Work that would “hero” their underdog spirit, helping customers in a way that only Tesco Mobile can.”
