Toronto agency Giants & Gentlemen has created a campaign for Days Inn to launch the brand's new tagline, 'Bask in the Sun.' The humorous campaign, which puts the hotel's iconic sun logo center stage, is currently airing in the US & Canada and is expected to launch globally. In one spot, a couple on a safari trip are relieved when they spot a Days Inn sign from afar, but quickly become frightened when a lion tells them to try the hotel chain's raisin bread. In another, a farmer is enjoying the "sunlight" that is beaming from a nearby Days Inn sign, only to be interrupted by his son-in-law who asks for the farm's WiFi password.
