Premier Inn targets leisure sector with latest Lenny Henry ad

The ads, once more fronted by comedian Lenny Henry, introduce the concept of the 'Premier Weekend', as the Whitbread-owned brand looks to increase its share of the leisure travel sector.

In the TV ad, created by RKCR/Y&R, Henry is shown enjoying a variety of pursuits including shopping, fishing and attending a wedding, to emphasise the range of reasons to visit a Premier Inn hotel. The campaign also promotes the brand's £29 entry-level price.

Steve Conway, head of marketing at Premier Inn, said: "This new creative illustrates that we are located in some of the most beautiful parts of the UK, as well as city centres, and that we are keen to offer our guests a great weekend break."

Media planning and buying for the campaign is by ZenithOptimedia.
