Mark Hill has invested in video production over recent years as part of its online marketing strategy, but this is the first time it has embarked on a TV commercial.
The firm said Hotel Gotham made an ideal location for the advertisement as it has a “cheeky twist“ with bedrooms featuring plush pink armchairs and pillows.
Mr Banks, who is also the lead guitarist and songwriter for the band Shed Seven, said: “We’ve been working with Mark Hill for the last three years producing online content, and it’s really exciting to be on the journey with them as they grow the brand.

“The Mark Hill team wanted to create a fun and vibrant lifestyle commercial, so it was important to get the casting and location right and the Gotham Hotel was the perfect fit for us.”
