KCOM has joined forces with the Hull star of a hit TV show for its latest campaign.
The East Yorkshire-based business is teaming up with Jessie Roux, from the latest series of The Traitors, for its vibrant new “Real good” campaign.
Hair stylist Jessie, who now splits her time between working at the No1 Salon, in Hessle, and her rising media career, took to the streets to help spread the world about the UK’s most reliable broadband, which can only be found on KCOM’s full fibre network.
Clad in one of her trademark bright orange outfits, Jessie said she was excited to be teaming up with a local company she’s known all her life.
She said: “Growing up in Hull I’ve had KCOM all my life, so to actually be working with them and being part of their new campaign is crazy. They’re a great company, have the best broadband and the fact that I already had the orange jumpsuit fit perfectly and shows I’m already completely on brand!
“It’s been such fun, I’ve loved doing it. I had to act out doing different jobs with the team, like fitting broadband and taking part in team meeting. I’ve never acted before so maybe that’s a new avenue I could look at. But it’s just me being me really!
“I love the fact that Hull has the most reliable broadband in the UK – it’s something to be really proud of coming from this city.”
Jessie is fronting KCOM’s new “Real good” campaign, which is now live across the region, showcasing the company’s 99.999% available full fibre network.
She will star in a social media mini-series, where she is KCOM’s new reliability tester. Each video shows a different side of the business and the local people behind it.
Neil Bartholomew, MD of KCOM Retail, said: “It’s really exciting to have Jessie on board. As everyone who’s seen Jessie on TV will know, she’s a real force of nature and we’re delighted with the energy and fun she’s bringing to our “Real good” campaign.
“We’re proud of having the UK’s most reliable broadband and it’s great to have a local hero like Jessie help us spread the message.”
As for the future, Jessie is just enjoying every minute of her new-found fame.
“I’m loving it, I’m on a real high at the moment and being able to do lots of different, new things, is really exciting. My life’s completely changed since I went on the show. It’s gone completely mad if I’m honest.
“But I’m just embracing each new opportunity, seeing where it takes me and enjoying the ride!”
