mike 3,690 Posted January 12, 2015 here are... The 30-second ad, which is called "soul man", was created by McCann London and breaks today on ITV during an episode of Coronation Street. A two-minute version of the ad will also run online. The spot opens with a husband and father from Shrewsbury called Dave, who also narrates the spot. Dave had to give up his great love — the early Northern Soul scene — when he had a family but has now thrown himself back into the lifestyle, and the dancing. 30 sec 2min http://www.brandrepublic.com/news/1328702/shredded-wheat-launches-live-heart-campaign/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
