"Rocco is an absolute joy to teach and is a very special part of the Starz family. He is bursting with enthusiasm in all aspects of performing – we're so impressed by his work on his first casting. Being able to find opportunities for our young actors to work in the industry is essential, we were delighted for all the youngsters who got this opportunity to experience what it is like to make a TV ad and be in front of the camera". Rocco's mum, Kim Caton, was delighted for her son, "He's been attending Starz for about a year and was excited to be chosen to take part in Cycle King's TV ad, he couldn't stop talking about it. Rocco also recorded part of the voiceover, another credit to his name. As a thanks for going more than the extra mile, Rocco was invited to choose a new bike from the Cycle King shop on East Street. He chose the aptly named 'Ammaco Rocky' bike in green and black with matching accessories. Locations used in the ad included Old Heath Recreation Ground, Boda Skatepark, a driveway in Stanway, Chalkney Woods and Cycle King Bury St. Edmunds. The ad is currently showing in selected regions of the UK on Sky TV as well as YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. To date there have been over half a million views. The ad was conceived and produced by local marketing agency, redPepper Marketing, with original music composition by Michael Palmer of Born Musicians. This is the first TV production for the agency with David Buckingham who graduated in Film and Media Studies from Colchester Institute in 2018 leading the production team. The agency was the driving force behind the Sky TV campaign from concept to final production completed inhouse.
