Barclaycard Water Slide

Barclay’s is promoting the Barclaycard in the UK with Waterslide, a 90 and 60 second TV advert bridging the gap between the office and the home.

Robert Wilfort in Barclaycard Water Slide TV Advert

A bespectacled office worker, played by British actor Robert Wilfort, clocks out at work and strips down to his underwear. He makes his way into the world of the water slide, gliding through financial transactions at a subway, library and supermarket before getting home.
