CP+B and Captain Obvious Flirt with Hotels.com

“Obvious Eye Contact” is the second installment in the new Hotels.com “The Obvious Choice” campaign from CP+B, which first introduced the character Captain Obvious when it launched at the end of February. This spot features Captain Obvious discussing the convenience of the Hotels.com mobile app after making flirtatious eye contact with a beautiful woman across a crowded bar. As the woman approaches him, Captain Obvious begins to use the app to book a last minute room. Unfortunately for the Captain, the woman’s advances were not directed at him but at another man standing directly behind him.
