Global credit provider Barclaycard introduced the first credit cards in the UK back in 1966. That same year the song 'Downtown' became an international hit for a little unknown British singer named Petula Clark. Now over 40 years later, the classic 60's song is featured in a very high tech ad for the now billion dollar UK credit card company. Spending some of those earnings, Barclaycard has created a big budget spot that is filled with impressive special effects, as it presents a cool new way to commute to work downtown.
