Jet launches its first TV advertising campaign in more than 20 years

Shot on location at the new Jet Dove Retail White Rose Service Station in Barnsley and in the Peak District National Park, the TV spot is part of Jets’ ongoing brand awareness programme designed to increase visibility and consideration among new and existing customers.

The campaign film has a road movie theme and captures the journey through the eyes of the driver and features a man at a grand piano travelling through English countryside playing and singing Joe Jackson’s 1980s hit ‘Steppin’ Out’.

He then briefly stops at a Jet forecourt to refuel before hitting the road again to resume his musical journey accompanied by the line: ‘Don’t let filling up slow you down’.

The ‘Keep on Moving’ campaign is the latest activity in an ongoing brand refresh for Jet.

In February 2019 Jet unveiled a new image programme for its fuel brand including updated logos, modern forecourt image and bright LED lighting. This was followed by the rebranding of Jet’s Premium Fuel offer, Jet Ultra with the relaunch of the website in early 2020.

“We are continuing to invest in our brand and the growing retail business to be the best we can be for our drivers, our dealers and the local communities we serve,” said Mary Wolf, managing director, UK marketing, at the Jet brand owner Phillips 66.

“In fine tuning the Jet brand our aim is to improve the experience for our customers and to give the drivers who visit our forecourts everything they need and want to continue their journeys quickly and safely. It is a simple, straightforward ‘driver-first’ ethos that is perfectly captured in this new campaign.”

The 60-second and 30-second TV advert will ait throughout September across the Midlands and the North of England. Other elements of the Keep on Moving campaign will be rolled out nationally on social media throughout the month.
