Tag Europe, Tesco Use The Great Kat to Promote ‘Call

In a textbook display of how advertising is much
different in the U.K., Tag Europe and Tesco — the world’s second largest
retailer — used the music of The Great
Kat in their ad for Call of Duty: Ghosts to add a sense of
drama and urgency to the spot. In America, you don’t use the music of
classically-trained virtuosos to sell video games, you use Eminem. Also
unlike the U.S. campaign, Tag Europe’s ad prominently features a female
gamer.

The 20 second spot scores The Great Kat‘s rendition of Vivaldi’s “The
Four Seasons” to its footage of players enjoying the game, actual
gameplay, and (for some reason) popcorn making. Fast paced violin and
guitar shredding is “synched perfectly in time with Call of Duty:
Ghosts’ fast action bombs, explosions, and death defying feats,” and
popcorn. The ad began airing in the U.K. this past November, to promote
Call of Duty: Ghosts‘ launch. “The Great Kat’s music is brilliant on the
spot,” said Adam Lieber, Music Supervisor at shtik.tv. Now would
somebody please pass the popcorn?
