Channel 4 today announces Walkers Sensations will sponsor the 9pm film every day of the week on Film4 from Tuesday 14th April 2020.
The new deal brokered by 4 Sales and OMD UK will run for a full year and represents the first time the savory snack brand has sponsored programming on Channel 4’s portfolio of channels.
Creative agency AMV BBDO are responsible for the sponsorship idents which depict Sensations and Film4 as the perfect night-in combination – taking viewers on a journey for ‘all of your senses’.
The imagery of the 15” idents going into the film will revolve around the incredible multi-sensory experience that is Sensations and Film4. The idents will take viewers on a journey for their senses, complete with vibrant ingredient shots to depict the intense taste experience of Sensations.
Sensations will also benefit from logo accreditation across the broadcaster’s marketing promotion for the 9pm film on Film 4, that is of 20” length or longer.
