Virgin Media

Virgin Media started in 2006 when Telewest and NTL Incorporated merged. Telewest began in 1984 in Croydon under the name of ‘Croydon Cables’ and was acquired by United Cable of Denver in 1988. The Company expanded during the 1990s and adopted the Telewest name in 1992 following the merger of its then-parent TCI (now Liberty Media) and US West

On February 11th 2010, ntl: Telewest Business was rebranded as Virgin Media Business, marking the end of NTL and Telewest brand being used by the company. The company provided dedicated internet and telecommunications services to the business.

An advert that sticks out the most to me is when they introduce Ed the Sofa Bear and Ally the Night Owl. They manage to get their message through with added creatures as many people take more notice to the ads when they have woodland critters added. I think that the message for Ally the Night Owl is to try and show how addictive it would be with fast internet and for Ed the Sofa Bear is so people think that it has a wide access to channels.
