Snowden Fine Ads
In the mid nineties, we had a very tiny and lovely studio right in the heart of Carnaby St in Soho, Central London. It was on a corner and the view from the wrap around windows was fantastic. So much to see around there and a great area to go to every day. We made a number of ads there and worked with many talented artists. These are some of them.
Hector the Tax Inspector. Certainly our most widely seen campaign for Britain’s Inland Revenue to introduce a new tax system that was meant to be easier, clearer and simpler. Well, that’s what the ads said! Hector was originally voiced by Sir Alec Guiness. He refers to the session in his autobiography. When he recorded it, he was quite old, but brilliant and so easy to direct. Click on images to watch them.
