Well known UK bed manufacturer and retailer Dreams unveils new Gillian Anderson campaign titled 'Think what a Dreams bed could do for you'.
The multi-channel campaign featuring London based actress Gillian Anderson was developed with M&C Saatchi London, and is set to run across TV, audio, social, digital and in-store after Dreams appointed M&C Saatchi as lead creative agency in July.
According to Dreams, the campaign is inspired by the fact that we spend about a third of our lives in bed, but often pay little attention to the role our mattress plays in sleep quality.
The new Dreams Gillian Anderson campaign aims to highlight “the incredible things sleep can do” such as improving alertness and memory. In the launch advert, which features a 60-foot art installation made of (Dream) mattresses, Anderson encourages viewers to question what they sleep on.
Dreams chief marketing officer Jo Martin said: “Through this [Dreams new Gillian Anderson campaign] we wanted to convey the importance of finding the right mattress, and the care and attention we give to every aspect of the customer journey – from our products and how we look after customers in store to setting up the bed as important part of someone’s home”.
