Halifax turns to the comedy horror classic Ghostbusters for its latest pop culture-heavy campaign.

The ad from adam&eveDBB, which follows the likes of Yogi Bear, The Flintstones and Top Cat in the series, uses footage from the 1984 classic starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, promotes the bank's new contactless Visa debit cards on offer.

The spot, which like the previous Wizard of Oz campaign, features characters superimposed into clips from the move, premiered on Channel 4. Characters from the franchise will also appear across branches, outdoor, radio, press and social media.
