Copper.co, the institutional digital asset custody and trading solutions provider, has announced the first annual television commercial campaign with the launch of a commercial called “The Unfair Advantage.” Copper is a London-based crypto firm that launched in 2018 and has raised $84.3 million in funding to date.

Essentially, Copper provides custodial crypto-asset solutions for “more than 400 institutional clients” and these clients include businesses such as banks, fund managers, and family offices. The service Copper offers allow these firms to buy, sell, and store cryptocurrencies.

“The Unfair Advantage” was directed by the Untold Studios executive Diarmid Harrison-Murray.

‘The Unfair Advantage’ Follows Slew of Commercials Starring Celebrities Like Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, Spike Lee, and Matt Damon

“Filmed four months ago in Iceland and London, the commercial features Swedish-born Ferguson exploring an otherworldly landscape,” Copper’s video description explains. Copper’s chief marketing officer, Tyler Kenyon, said the firm appreciated Ferguson’s work a great deal. “We are honoured that Rebecca starred in our new campaign and first television commercial, it was a pleasure working with her,” Kenyon said. Copper’s CMO added:

‘The Unfair Advantage’ message is meant to be somewhat abrasive because we are competing for attention in the loudest and most highly competitive industry that has ever existed: crypto. Ultimately, we want everyone to benefit from what we’ve built, at which point it won’t be an unfair advantage, it will just be the new gold standard.

The Copper commercial starring Rebecca Ferguson follows a slew of firms hiring famous celebrities to appear in crypto commercials.
